Hyperspectral Imaging & Satellite Systems

Wyvern sits at the intersection of satellite systems and Earth impact.
My work there focused on both designing Earth observation systems and shaping how their capabilities are communicated, understood, and used beyond purely technical contexts.

Space-Enabled Earth Observation Systems

Wyvern

​

At Wyvern, I worked at the systems level on a commercial hyperspectral Earth observation constellation, focusing on how orbital dynamics, payload behaviour, and operations decisions shape what data satellites can meaningfully deliver on Earth. My work involved using orbital analysis and Python-based tools to translate space environment conditions into inputs for thermal, payload, and commissioning planning, as well as contributing to early scheduling and capacity concepts. This experience grounded my understanding of how satellite design choices propagate through complex systems and how those choices ultimately affect the accessibility, reliability, and societal usefulness of Earth observation data.

Translating Space Technology into Public Meaning

Wyvern

​

​Alongside engineering work, I helped shape how hyperspectral Earth observation was communicated beyond technical teams. I developed product narratives and newsletters that translated satellite capabilities into clear, accessible stories for partners and broader audiences, using engagement data to refine messaging and strategy. This work sat at the intersection of technology, communication, and impact, focusing on ensuring that space-enabled Earth data is not only technically robust but also legible, relevant, and actionable for environmental understanding and decision-making.​
