Situation

The research program needed software support for satellite ground station operations and a parallel Smart City Lighting IoT platform.

Build

I worked on telemetry workflows, operator-facing interfaces, mission-support tooling, and IoT dashboard functionality while coordinating with research and hardware stakeholders.

Result

The work provides credible proof of high-reliability R&D software, operator tooling, and cross-disciplinary technical delivery.

Key decisions

  • Prioritized clear operator workflows for time-sensitive technical work.
  • Coordinated software delivery with research and hardware constraints.
  • Kept satellite and IoT responsibilities distinct enough to manage risk.
  • Built for practical mission support rather than presentation-only demos.
