Summary
Adam Schilperoort is a versatile software engineer with a decade of experience building real-time control systems and industrial automation software, currently contributing to adaptive optics at the University of Arizona and terminal automation at Dearman Systems. He programs across a wide toolset—C/C++, C#, Java, Python, Rust, Kotlin, PHP, Julia, Matlab—and has deep Linux kernel and parallel programming experience. Over four years he developed on-sky adaptive optics software that integrates cameras, deformable mirrors, and optical-bench hardware, running full R&D-to-product life cycles and tuning control loops in the field. He also brings two years of PLC-, Modbus- and Smith-protocol experience for bulk liquid and gas terminals, backed by MSSQL and .NET stacks. Known for combining instrumentation-level embedded work with full-stack development, Adam blends hands-on lab experimentation and on-sky operations with production-grade software engineering. Based in Tucson, he pairs academic training in CS and ECE with practical delivery across scientific and industrial domains.
