Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Nikolai

I’m an Avionics Hardware Development Engineer at Varda Space Industries, where I maintain and develop in-house GNC sensors for the Varda Bus and design custom electronics and instrumentation for pharmaceutical manufacturing. I hold a Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts in Physics, both from Cornell University. My background spans embedded systems, sensor design, physics-based modeling, and data analysis.

I enjoy spending time going on adventures in the wilderness with a camera by my side.

Some of my other passions include, in no particular order, photography, content creation, UAVs, electronics, programming, martial arts, languages, playing the guitar, and of course this website.
