Bio

Hello! My name is Brando, and I am an aspiring Aerospace Engineer. I am a part of the HASP mechanical team at College of the Canyons working to create a student science payload for NASA. Last year I was the mechanical sub-lead and got to spend more than forty hours machining! I was also previously a part of the RockSatX mechanical team in the College of the Canyons Aerospace and Science Team. I learned how to machine parts that are going on a two-stage sounding rocket! I have also been programming for many years (about 5 years as of writing!) and have varying of experience in a variety of programming languages. I have lots of experience in HTML, CSS, and Python. I have good experience in Java, Rust, and JavaScript.
