Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Farkas is a computer science student at Georgia Tech with nine years of hands-on experience building autonomous systems, high-performance computing support, and satellite firmware. He currently supports thousands of researchers at PACE by triaging HPC incidents and independently resolving Linux and tooling issues while also developing Rust-based guidance, navigation, and control software for 6-DOF rocket landers and UAVs. Joseph mentors high-school teams in sensor fusion and controls, authored a resilient A* planner and a high-performance AprilTag-based vision stack that helped his team win multiple state titles and a divisional world championship. His internship work at Viasat adds practical firmware and signal-processing experience for LEO antenna systems and atmospheric modeling. Comfortable across C++, Rust, and low-level systems, he combines academic rigor in Devices & Intelligence with a knack for shipping robust, safety-critical algorithms on constrained hardware. Notably, he balances research-scale HPC support with real-time embedded control development—an uncommon cross-section of skills for his stage.
