Summary
Arran Dengate is a pragmatic software developer with 11 years’ experience, currently building a novel robotic telescope mount at a Canberra startup. He combines C++ and Python expertise with hands-on Linux administration and embedded-systems work, having reworked autoguiding code, rebuilt a wxWidgets GUI, and written Python orchestration for plate-solving and scheduled mount control. A Masters of Information Technology Studies (Distinction) from ANU underpins his engineering approach, and his role has given him practical exposure to electronics and metalworking beyond typical software duties. Comfortable resolving complex build and dependency issues on Debian-based systems, he thrives on projects that bridge firmware, desktop software, and operational tooling.
