Internet wizard with 4+ years of full-stack software experience.

Previously Starship Software Engineering Intern @ SpaceX.

Director @ Radical — a small, talent-dense software development collective.

Hello there! I’m Radison, a software engineer with a knack for leadership, web + networking technologies, photography, and multisport events. My interest in digital technology started back in middle school when I tinkered with microcontrollers and competed in FIRST LEGO League competitions — it turns out you can learn a lot from bits of plastic and expensive servos.

Fast-forward to today, where I’ve had the privilege of working across a wide gamut of industries including spacecraft manufacturing, consulting, university administration, political campaigns, enterprise security systems, and athletic special events. Just this past summer, I was a Software Engineering Intern on the Starship Software team at SpaceX! I demonstrated leadership and technical excellence by owning a critical flight reliability tool used to validate over 1,000,000 spacecraft configuration values.

I’m juggling quite a few responsibilities at the University of Illinois Chicago. For starters, I am studying computer science and business full-time (with a 3.97 GPA, whoop!). I also project manage and work directly with 8+ software developers under the College of Engineering. Together we've developed and shipped over 10 full-stack web applications used by 1000's on campus.

Making an impact is part of my DNA, especially when it comes to personal projects. I recently gave three distinct guest lectures at UIC and one lecture internally at SpaceX about Exploding Chickens — a popular web-based card game I built with my friends in the era of COVID-19 (with nearly 1,500 games played!). We dove deep into project management, design patterns, test coverage, web browser architecture, and software engineering basics.

Exploding Chickens fanned the flames (literally) and acted as a springboard for both my professional skills and further projects down the line. I now lead Radical, a small group of highly-motivated software engineers, project managers, and creatives developing open-source web applications. We pursue our personal passions at scale by leveraging collective intelligence.

In my spare time, I love to build things with my hands (UIC SAE Formula E, woodworking, small electronics), volunteer in the community (UIC Cities Project, Stanford's Code in Place), and compete in endurance triathlons. In August 2022, I finished 214th out of 2,456 in the Chicago Triathlon, Olympic distance — my first ever multisport race.
