Summary
Christopher Muñoz is a software engineer and electronics specialist with a decade of hands-on experience bridging embedded firmware, RF/microwave engineering, and full-stack software. Based in Charlottesville, he currently contributes software engineering expertise to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory while freelancing on RF and embedded system projects, from multi-channel converter builds to low-latency wireless prototypes. His background includes maintaining and integrating complex radio astronomy front ends at ALMA and designing both analog/digital circuits and firmware at Universidad de Chile, giving him rare end-to-end fluency from PCB design and VNA measurements to bare-metal C and RTOS development. He frequently combines software tools (C/C++, Python, Qt) with hardware debugging and measurement workflows, and has practical experience deploying AWS services and GUIs for instrument control. Notably, his profile reflects a continual curiosity—melding traditional electronics craftsmanship like milling and LPKF PCB prototyping with modern embedded Linux and machine learning experimentation.
