Summary
Christopher Swagler is a Senior Software Engineer with five years of hands-on experience building flight and test infrastructure for autonomous aircraft at Reliable Robotics. A Summa Cum Laude graduate in Computer Engineering & Computer Science from Northeastern, he blends embedded flight software development with simulation and hardware-in-the-loop automation to accelerate verification and deployment. He has a strong systems mindset—writing C++ DAQ drivers, designing shared-memory concurrency for GPIO simulation, and scripting visualization and CI tooling in Python. Comfortable across avionics, PLC/HMI systems, and cloud automation, he also taught introductory robotics and built practical Arduino libraries and makerspace workflows for first-year engineers. Based in San Francisco, he brings both academic rigor and shop-floor experience to tightly coupled software-hardware problems.
