Thomas Antony is a Senior GNC Engineer with 14 years of experience blending aerospace research and production-grade software for spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control. He holds a PhD in Aeronautics & Astronautics from Purdue and has delivered trajectory optimization, optimal-control solvers, and onboard GNC algorithms for missions ranging from hypersonic vehicle studies to NASA and Rocket Lab spaceflight operations. At Rocket Lab he built containerized S/W-in-the-loop and HITL test infrastructure, automated verification and microcontroller code generation, and operated GNC during flight campaigns; he now applies that systems-and-software rigor at AstroForge. A practical software generalist, he also contributes to open-source ML toolingโintegrating LlamaCpp support into the popular text-generation-webuiโshowing a knack for bridging domain science and modern ML backends.
