Software developer, aerospace enthusiast, and future Lockheed Martin RMF engineer
I'm nerd-bear, a 14-year-old programmer with an insatiable curiosity for both software development and aerospace engineering. While I love coding, my true passion lies at the intersection of technology and aviation.
From building computers with breadboards to studying aircraft design principles, I'm constantly pushing myself to learn more about how technology can advance aerospace capabilities.
My fascination with aerospace began when I first saw an F-22 Raptor demonstration. The combination of cutting-edge technology and aerodynamics captivated me, sparking a lifelong interest in aviation and defense systems.
I spend countless hours studying aircraft designs, flight dynamics, and avionics systems. My dream is to contribute to next-generation aerospace technology, particularly in the realm of stealth and radar systems.
What excites me most is the challenge of integrating advanced software with aerospace hardware - creating systems that push the boundaries of what's possible in flight performance, situational awareness, and mission capabilities.
This passion drives me to develop my skills in low-level programming, embedded systems, and computational physics - all crucial for aerospace innovation.
Building foundational skills in C++, embedded systems, and computational physics while completing high school with a focus on STEM subjects.
Pursue aerospace engineering or computer engineering degree with specialization in avionics and radar systems. Complete relevant internships in defense/aerospace.
Work at Lockheed Martin's RMF (Radar, Missile, and Fire Control) division, contributing to next-generation radar and sensor systems for advanced aircraft like the F-35 and future sixth-generation fighters.
Lockheed Martin's RMF division works on the most advanced radar and sensor systems in the world. The opportunity to work on technologies like AESA radars and sensor fusion is incredibly exciting.
The systems developed at RMF directly contribute to national security and aerospace superiority. Knowing my work could help protect service members is deeply meaningful to me.
The complex problems in radar signal processing, stealth technology, and sensor integration represent exactly the kind of technical challenges I want to dedicate my career to solving.
