Computer Engineer
Hello, I am Krystine Carrington. I am a Computer Engineer working for KBR at NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley. My main research interest is autonomous space-flight, and I have been fortunate enough to work on research projects in this field at both NASA Ames and Goddard Spaceflight Center. At the start of 2020 I spent time integrating a neural network pipeline with NASA's core Flight System (cFS) in support of the R-RAV autonomous rover project. Currently I am working on satellite cluster payload software in support of the Starling 1 mission.
I received both my Masters and Bachelors degrees in Computer Engineering from the University of California Santa Cruz. I additionally hold Associates degrees in both Physics and Astronomy from Saddleback College. Computer Engineering offered a unique intersection of engineering and computer science in a capacity I could easily apply to my first love: astronomy. I now mainly focus on embedded programming while touching on both higher level applications and some hardware tasks.
Black Holes!Current and past contributions including work and personal projects.
Researched and developed deploying NASA's Core Flight System (cFS) software using Docker containers. Contributions to this project further promote the portability and ease of deployment of the cFS across different embedded systems and througout a myriad of flight missions.
NASASealHAT is a lightweight, low-cost solution for tracking behavior and activity of Northern Elephant Seals. Contributions to this project included writing a flash translation layer between the microcontroller and the external NAND flash storage devices as well as working on the RTOS and GUI elements.
GitHubThe Voyant Intelligent Energy System is a medical device created at Applied Medical for use in laproscopic and open operating room procedures. Contributions to this product included writing safety critical embedded C code for generators that are in use in operating rooms worldwide.
Applied MedicalHow I spend my time outside of work.
I recently purchased a WanHao Duplicator i3+ and have been enjoying learning how to 3D model and print!
ThingiverseFor a period of my life I was a competative figure skater. Later, I coached professionally for a number of years before moving to the Bay Area. Now, I go for fun whenever I have time!
I enjoy creating and wearing costumes! Most of the cosplay I do is Star Wars or anime related.
