Hey, I'm Shreeyam. I am a PhD candidate at MIT's Space Telecommunications, Astronomy and Radiation Laboratory with PI Prof. Kerri Cahoy. I work on autonomous systems, instrumentation, and machine learning applied to spacecraft. Currently I work on dynamic tasking formulations for Earth-observing satellites funded by Planet Labs so we can use existing satellites more effectively through improved perception, onboard planning, and edge computing.

I currently work at Planet Labs as an Edge Compute/Machine Learning Engineer. I have worked on Pelican's onboard compute system on the NVIDIA Jetson platform, as the first employee on the Edge Compute team. My previous experience includes integrated photonics at X, the moonshot factory (formerly Google [x]), and I also led all onboard electronics development for Imperial College London Rocketry.

I started this blog for technical sewing projects. There are countless blogs from the early to mid 2010s that have been invaluable to my sewing journey, and I hope to contribute to that body of knowledge. I might occasionally write about fashion, research, or other topics also.

I wrote this blog platform called Spoingo. I also host a tree-based productivity software called Treetrack.
