Summary
Thomas G is a software engineer and University of Arizona ECE student with 18 years of hands-on experience building embedded and real-time systems. He currently develops software for the MMT Observatory after growing domain expertise in automation and power-grid protection as an Automation Engineering Intern at Tucson Electric Power. Thomas also worked as a digital design engineer at Raytheon Technologies, demonstrating strength in low-level design and time-critical systems. He combines academic rigor—minors in Computer Science and Mathematics—with practical experience shipping reliable, millisecond-scale automation for critical infrastructure. Based in Tucson, he brings a pragmatic, systems-first approach to embedded development and observatory control software. An early-career profile that already blends industry defense work, utility-scale automation, and scientific instrumentation hints at a trajectory toward high-reliability, real-time engineering roles.
