+ My name is Corwin Perren, and I'm a multi-disciplinary engineer with a degree in computer science from Oregon State + University. + For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by how things work, never being shy about taking them apart + to learn the gritty details. At a young age, I began tinkering, adding lights and fans and doorbells to the + pretend cardboard box houses my brother and I would play in. + Later, I learned to solder, work on vehicles and engines, install and run Linux, manage enterprise computing + infrastructure, build and repair computers, write scripts, and by the end of high school set out with a clear + goal for my college years. + I wanted to learn and teach myself enough to be able to think up almost any project, encompassing all facets of + engineering, and be capable of driving it to completion with my own skill set. +
++ I think young me would be very pleased by how well I managed to achieve that goal! + Through college, I learned electronics and PCB design, embedded and pc programming, basic mechanical design and + fabrication, on top of learning how to work well with others in a team. + I quickly realized that robotics was an ideal focus due to its inherent multi-disciplinary nature, and joined + the OSU Robotics club, which introduced me to people who are still my best friends today. + Through student engineering jobs, I had the unique opportunity to work on some incredible projects such as the + robotic oceanographic surface sampler and an embryo pick-and-plate machine. + One my my proudest moments was when our club's mars rover took first place at the Candian International Rover + Challenge in 2018, for which I was the software lead! +
++ After a short three-month internship at SpaceX in Hawthorne at the end of college, I applied for a test + engineering position for the company's Starlink team and was hired in mid-2019. + For six years, I developed test system hardware, software, harnesses, mechanical fixtures, devops + infrastructure, websites, and tooling to ensure that Starlink, Falcon, Dragon, and Starship component tests were + producing well-validated and reliable hardware. + Through it all, I got to apply and hone every skill I had developed, while learning countless more. + Now though, it's on to the next adventure, whatever that may be! +
++ To learn more about my experiences, hobbies, interests, and skills, feel free to explore the site! + While the short summary above provides some insight into who I am, it leaves out plenty! + For example, I've been an avid motorcycle rider since I was sixteen, and have an rfid implant in my hand! +
++ If you're interested in contacting me, feel free to message on LinkedIn, or via the primary contact methods + on my resume. +
