About

My name is Liam and I’m an aerospace engineer! My main area of focus is software relating to satellites. I work at Lockheed Martin as a Systems Engineer. I have experience in MATLAB, Python, C++, Java, and SolidWorks. I have taken classes in Orbital Mechanics, Strategy and Arms Control, Systems Engineering, Controls, Entry Descent and Landing, and Object Oriented Programming. When I’m not working, you can usually find me outside. I love nature and especially love climbing the great 14ers of Colorado!
