Profile: https://flows.cv/martycole

I enjoy coding and low-level design. My primary proficiencies are in C and C++ and I have done some recent work in Python. I've designed, implemented, and certified hardware and software currently in-flight on multiple small aircraft. I aim to make certain my children have the opportunity to explore the solar system.
