Summary
Joshua Wallace is a software developer and space systems analyst with 11 years of experience applying C++, Python, and data-driven methods to modeling, simulation, and astrophysical research. He develops and maintains a large C++ orbital modeling and simulation codebase, owning planning, implementation, testing, documentation, and user support for small-team delivery. His background in astrophysics and time-series image processing led to discovering a previously unknown type of variable star and to building Monte Carlo pipelines and ML-assisted classification tools for planet detection. At Stellar Science he bridges developer and analyst roles, creating analysis tools for satellite trajectories, communications, and telescope monitoring. Comfortable moving between low-level code maintenance and scientific research, he also brings experience debugging legacy systems and automating manual workflows. Based in Albuquerque, he combines rigorous academic training with practical production engineering in the space domain.
