Hi, I'm Michael

About Me

I’m a software engineer with 15+ years of experience. I hold an MSc in Astrophysics from UCL and I am a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. I have a lifelong passion for astronomy.

Currently, I work at foundational.space as their Head of Software, where I build satellite tracking and space situational awareness tools.

Previously, I was a senior engineer on the Ground Segment team at Loft Orbital. I helped deliver their satellites-as-a-service platform.

I work across frontend and backend stacks. I am comfortable with both front-end languages and frameworks such as TypeScript, Vue and React as well as back-end technologies like Go, Rust, C, C++ and Python. I consider myself to know just about everything about containers and Linux sysadmin.

Outside work, I enjoy stargazing, road trips, surfing, camping and exploring open-source projects.

My Projects

observerly

I am the creator of observerly, a next-generation platform for remote telescope control and astronomical observation.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in astronomy, software development, or any of my projects!
