About
Hola, I’m Esteban Duran 👋
I am a software engineer based in Austin, Texas currently working on spacecraft autonomy 🛰️ at York Space Systems. I am passionate about making our robot space explorers smarter. My dream is to one day see smart AI-powered spacecraft exploring our cosmos, sending back amazing data, and expanding our knowledge of the universe.
This blog is intended to be a collection of posts on anything from spacecraft autonomy, artificial intelligence, flight software, programming languages, and space in general.
Feel free to reach out to me via email 📧 or social media. Tambien hablo español!
