About Me
Hi there! My name is Josue. I am an experienced software engineer, developing and maintaining mission critical software for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
My journey began at the University of Florida, where I graduated with degrees in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, which in a serendipitous turn of events, introduced me to the world of programming. Since then, programming has intertwined itself with my appetite for knowledge, expanding my toolset to tinker with ideas and bring them to fruition as projects.
Most recently, I have been exploring any and all areas of web development as I look for my next challenge to tackle. If you think we can build something together, let’s have a chat.

-
Insitu, Inc
Software Engineer Intern
April 2017 — August 2017
- Headed a research spike to validate if the autopilot companion computer could provide navigational redundancy when in a GPS-denied environment by down-selecting sensors to an onboard camera and developing a pattern detection and tracking application with the OpenCV library.
- Created the user interface for a Windows application in C# using the MVVM architecture that allowed aircraft operators to configure the radio settings in a user-friendly manner as an alternative to the command line.
