Hi! I’m Mace, and I test software for space telescopes.

I’m a systems engineer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), supporting integration and testing for the Webb (JWST) and Roman ground systems and leading test automation efforts for the Integration & Test team.

I’m an astrophysicist by training, with B.A.s in physics and astronomy from Wesleyan University. While at Wesleyan, I researched black hole X-ray binaries and strong gravitational lensing, managed the student observatory, and taught telescope operation and data science for astronomy.
