Background

About Devon Dejohn

I am a backend engineer with a strong interest in type theory and writing testable, maintainable code. I have experience in nearly every part of the stack from database schemas to kubernetes cluster management to metrics and alerting. I was team leader on two student-designed-and-built engineering payloads chosen by NASA to fly on a suborbital sounding rocket. My personal interests include astrodynamics, computational physics, numerical analysis, guidance, navigation, and control theory. I love board games, video games,"pixel" art, film photography, pool, plants, traditional hot rods, woodworking, soccer, spooky stuff, writing, fiction, and music. I've been playing guitar since 2004. I started writing code in 2013 using a mod for Kerbal Space Program called kOS, which allows you to write your own flight code for your spacecrafts. I wrote my own library and implemented quite a few different space missions, including an Apollo-style moon landing, a Skycrane-style rover delivery to Mars, and a geostationary satellite network installer.
