Independent Developer · Reliability & Automation Engineer · Builder of Cosmic Utilities
Building practical software, overlays, utility tools, and reliability systems with a focus on usability, observability, automation, and real-world problem solving.
I build software around two themes: useful tools for real users and systems that are easier to understand, test, and trust.
Cosmic Utilities is an expanding family of independently developed tools and experiences with a shared space-inspired design language and an emphasis on reliability, usability, and thoughtful engineering.
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| Cosmic Pulse | Star Citizen performance intelligence for Windows—telemetry, bottleneck analysis, optimization validation, and reliability diagnostics. |
| Cosmic Relay | A lightweight, customizable media overlay designed to keep currently playing media visible without breaking immersion. |
Both are free community tools. Support helps cover code signing, testing, release infrastructure, and continued development.
Orbital Reliability Lab is an independent systems reliability, automation, validation, and operations engineering lab for simulated high-consequence environments.
It currently explores two operational domains on a shared reliability core:
- Mission Operations — telemetry, ground systems, redundancy, failover, and mission-readiness concepts
- Factory Operations — equipment state, production flow, MES-style tracking, fault isolation, recovery, and validation
Core response contract:
INJECT → DETECT → DIAGNOSE → ISOLATE → RECOVER → VALIDATE → EVIDENCE
ORL is an independent portfolio project and is not affiliated with SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink, Terafab, or their subsidiaries.
I work across technical support, quality engineering, reliability, and operations—diagnosing complex problems, improving system behavior, validating changes, and turning recurring pain points into useful software.
