Senior🎓
Top SchoolLogan Barnes is a hybrid software engineer and helicopter pilot with a decade of experience building GPU-accelerated rendering, simulation, and visualization systems for aerospace, manufacturing, and defense. He has led development of high‑fidelity 3D simulations and real‑time pipelines at companies like Raytheon and CloudNC, then bridged those skills into avionics and streaming infrastructure as a lead engineer at Rotor. A former Reconnaissance Marine and Brown University magna cum laude graduate, he brings disciplined leadership, field-tested teamwork, and a taste for creative interaction design—often prototyping alternative controllers and audio-driven interfaces. Now based in Seward, Alaska, he splits time between commercial helicopter operations and remote software work, applying real-world flight math to intuitive educational simulations. Notable outcomes include a Microsoft hackathon win and a portfolio that fuses music, aviation, and fluid dynamics into engaging, manipulable learning tools.
