Hi, I'm Michael

About Me

I am an astronomy enthusiast with an MSc in Astrophysics from University College London (UCL).

Currently, I work as a software engineer in the space industry at Lumi.Space, where I contribute to cutting-edge satellite tracking and space-situational awareness technology.

With over a decade of experience in software development, I specialize in both frontend and backend technologies. I am particularly passionate about TypeScript, Go, Rust and Vue.

My Projects

observerly

I am the creator of observerly, a next-generation platform for remote telescope control and astronomical observation.

  • @observerly/astrometry: A fully lightweight, zero-dependency, type-safe library performing astrometric and astronomical calculations built for the web, written in TypeScript.
  • SkySolve: A zero-dependency astrometric plate solving and image distortion analysis library for astronomical images, adhering to the WCS and SIP standards.
  • IRIS 👀 @observerly/iris: A zero-dependency framework for interoperating with images created by the ASCOM Alpaca API, written in Go.
  • A fits, astroTIFF and XISF File Reader: I am developing .fits, astroTIFF and .xisf file reader and renderer, ported to the frontend using WebAssembly (WASM). More details to come soon!

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in astronomy, software development, or any of my projects!
