Profile Summary

I build complex satellite and radar systems from system architecture to real-time RF and signal processing. 15+ years across satellite operations, spaceborne RF, and SDR-based radar systems. I’ve operated real spacecraft, handled mission-critical RF links, and now design SAR and time-frequency signal processing for next-generation spaceborne and airborne radars. Currently focused on SAR, OTFS, and wavelet–chirplet processing, turning theory into real-time SDR/FPGA pipelines. If it can’t survive hardware, dynamics, and noise, it doesn’t count.
