Summary
Haydn Huntley is a versatile software engineer with over a decade of experience building systems that span graphics, web, and systems programming, currently supporting remote telescope operations at the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS PS1 project. He combines deep C, Python, Perl, MySQL, and Linux expertise with hands-on hardware work—managing IPP hardware, cameras, and remote operations—plus a long history of web and back-end development. As CTO of Quantum Astrology and owner of a consulting firm, he applies software engineering to niche domains like Vedic astrology tools and bespoke 3D-printer design and optimization. His background includes production web systems and embedded projects (Raspberry Pi, Arduino) and a track record of shipping practical solutions for startups and research operations. Based in Makawao, Hawaii, he brings an unusual blend of scientific instrumentation experience and entrepreneurial product development. An interesting aside: he publishes free daily Vedic astrology forecasts and builds the software behind those services, merging technical craftsmanship with an unconventional consumer-facing application.
