Hi there, I'm Ryan.
I am an engineering student at the University of Maryland with interests in radio frequency, cybersecurity, and space systems.
I have worked on UV flux calibration research for the Hubble Space Telescope at NASA's Space Telescope Science Institute, atmospheric data analysis supporting the ARM User Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and am currently developing flight software for TERP-RAPTOR, a 12U CubeSat on course for the 2029 Apophis flyby.
I enjoy working across the full stack of a project, from building and wiring hardware to writing the software that runs on top of it. Outside of engineering I sim race, play guitar, and fly planes. Always happy to talk about projects or ideas. Check out my uses page to see what I work with.
