GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hi there! 👋 I am a software engineer with a curiosity for science gone out of hand. I have degrees in both Computer Science (MSc) and Physics (PhD) and benefit from 10+ years experience in building scientific software and analyzing big data. My experience includes diverse projects at three universities 👨‍🎓, two space agencies 🚀, and one meteorological institute 🌤.
In recent years, I was part of the team that rescued NASA's award-winning Kepler Space Telescope. I was privileged to experience first hand how a small team of skilled engineers can achieve miracles when given the freedom to take risks, prototype rapidly, and collaborate in a positive culture. It enabled us to rescue the spacecraft and extend the mission by four years, leading to the discovery of 300+ new exoplanets.
In my spare time, I love building open source software tools for science!
