Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Miles is an Associate Scientist II in software engineering with nine years of experience building mission-driven tools for space and atmospheric science, currently supporting NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. He blends a strong academic background in geophysics, astronomy, physics, and math (MS at UCLA, triple BS from University of Florida) with hands-on engineering across observatory calibration pipelines, instrument analysis, and real-time environmental modeling. His work spans research roles at UCLA and Frontier Development Lab to operational engineering at CIRES and the Space Telescope Science Institute, where he led calibration pipelines and developed novel techniques to cure detector artifacts. Driven by curiosity and healthy skepticism, he excels at turning complex scientific requirements into reliable production software for high-stakes, real-time systems. An understated strength is his track record of moving between deep research and productionization, enabling both novel science and operational readiness.
