Summary
Daniel Diamont is a versatile software engineer with nine years of experience building embedded C/C++ flight and motor-control systems, Python CLI tooling, and event-driven JavaScript front-ends for operational environments. Currently contributing to NASA's VIPER rover flight software and integration testing, he pairs low-level firmware expertise with practical data-analysis tooling (Yamcs/XTCE) to close the loop between vehicle telemetry and system verification. His background spans industrial control at ExxonMobil—optimizing control loops, alarm management, and HMI visualizations—to signal processing and ML work that produced a >90% wake-word model on iOS. Comfortable across the stack, he designs robust control algorithms, implements safety-critical embedded code, and writes operator-facing applications and procedures that keep complex systems auditable and reliable. Based in Houston, he brings a hands-on, test-focused mindset and a track record of turning laboratory prototypes into field-ready, documented solutions. An uncommon strength is his fluency in both avionics-grade C/cFS frameworks and high-productivity Python tooling, enabling rapid iteration without sacrificing rigor.
