Digital plumber with ≈ 7 years of professional experience in software.

I studied art in school but pivoted to computer science after realizing that audio engineering was an optimization problem.

I developed a way of reading sky brightness over the globe without a sensor.

I'd love to speak with you about your next project. Particularly interested in industrial/defense/energy spaces.

Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024) on Monday October 28, 2024 @09:59AM (#41971062)
I've been working on the ability to read sky brightness without a sensor.

I've always been interested in stargazing, but had a curiosity about how "good" the stars I was seeing were relative to conditions in other places on earth.

I'm working to answer that by doing inference of the value a SQM would get you, but over H3 cells in a geojson file, and then reporting on the cell with the highest reading during the last iteration over the set of H3 cells.

I'm a self-taught programmer with an art degree. My interests are in: data visualization, GraphQL, TypeScript, systems programming,

I have a number of years experience working as a frontend-centric remote contractor in startups and would be delighted to speak to you regarding your next project.

Wondering if these satellites follow a fixed path. If so, and there are few enough of them, the nextgen land-based optical telescopes will just have to factor this into scheduling.

Has SpaceX said anything about the paths they will follow? Can they change mid-deployment?
