About
Staff Aerospace Software Engineer at Jacobs. The work is hands-on mission software and technical leadership across programs: shared interfaces, delivery, and the engineers doing the work.
Before this, eight years at NASA Goddard on Earth science systems — flood maps, satellite-data access, and public science publishing.
The Dry Standard is the independent product where that range is public: domain model, publishing pipeline, interface, and the operational work of keeping a live catalog honest.
Current focus
Building mission software and the engineering systems around it at Jacobs. Review and coaching sit in the same week as implementation.
Improving cross-repository developer workflows, integration practices, test quality, and shared delivery standards across teams.
How I work
Implementation, reviews, and coaching belong in the same week. I work on Python services, shared interfaces, messaging, and CI/CD while helping teams turn program priorities into executable software.
My scope is increasingly cross-program: technical direction, engineering systems, integration, architecture, delivery, and engineer development across team boundaries.
Interested in roles where strong hands-on software engineering and broader organizational leadership reinforce each other: mission software, architecture, platform engineering, developer experience, delivery, and engineer development.
Get in touchBeyond the work
When not writing software, solving engineering problems, or working with a team, the other work is music: songwriter and musician across post-punk, indie rock, hardcore, and alternative. Independent label work has also supported underground and alternative artists in Washington, DC and beyond.
