About Me
Hola, I’m Esteban Duran 👋
I am a spacecraft software engineer and all around space geek. I am a first-gen Mexican-American originally from space city, Houston. I am interested and currently working on spacecraft autonomy and flight software for a variety of missions. More specifically, I am interested in exploring how artificial intelligence can make our spacecraft more capable so that we may explore deeper and further into the cosmos. This blog is intended to be an outlet for discoveries and musings spacecraft autonomy, flight software, and any other tools which interest me.
