Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Kohan is an experienced software engineer and systems architect with a rare blend of computer science and electrical engineering expertise, currently supporting civilian space, geodesy, and satellite navigation programs at NASA JPL. He leads small teams and delivers end-to-end software solutions—from Django web platforms handling tens of millions of files to embedded C flight-computer testing—while mentoring junior staff and driving ops-ready systems. His work spans high-precision GNSS services (static positioning to 5mm, dynamic to 5cm), real-time data distribution via a long-running NTRIP Caster, and novel test-indexing and simulation tools used in mission and defense contexts. Previously he developed real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulations for major defense contractors at JHU APL, and he brings program-level product management chops demonstrated by running a competitive political campaign where he built the data and outreach stack from scratch. Based in Los Angeles, he combines hands-on coding with systems thinking and a track record of producing auditable, production-grade tools for demanding engineering environments.
