Adrien Chardon

Aerospace Engineer

I am a software and electronics engineer, with an expertise in embedded systems. I have a wide range of skills, enabling me to be efficient at many different tasks.
I am interested in robots, launchers and inter-planetary probes. I prefer to write code that interacts with the physical world, and runs in space.
I care about code quality, automation and open source software. I invest heavily in tooling, to limit errors and free myself form mundane tasks. I like to use and contribute to open source to avoid reinventing the wheel.
