Space operations developer @ Southwest Research InstituteHi, I'm Caden! I develop software for space science and spacecraft operations. I work on a number of NASA science missions and have previously conducted research in high-energy astrophysics, using multiwavelength data from space and ground-based telescopes around the world. I am passionate about developing innovative software, technology, and instrumentation to enable scientific discoveries across a range of disciplines.
