TAMER HOWEIDYTamer Howeidy
I design and build software systems that sit at the intersection of hardware, data, and operations: from environmental test chambers and manufacturing lines to real-time telemetry dashboards and ground-style architectures. I'm focused on bringing that experience into flight and ground software roles in aerospace and defense.
I'm a software and systems engineer with 15+ years of experience building tools and infrastructure around complex physical systems: fabrication shops, test labs, and manufacturing environments.
My recent focus is on applying that background to aerospace:
- Real-time data acquisition and telemetry-style pipelines
- Ground/mission systems patterns (edge collectors, message buses, time-series stores)
- C++ and RTOS concepts for deterministic behavior and tight control over hardware-facing code
I enjoy working at the point where "the thing in the lab" meets "the software stack," and I'm especially interested in teams building spacecraft, high-reliability defense systems, or mission-critical test infrastructure.
Lead design and development of enterprise web applications supporting engineering and fabrication operations across NASA facilities. Architected scalable internal platforms integrating React front-ends with Node.js and PostgreSQL backends to enhance data visibility and system reliability. Implemented APIs and microservices connecting multiple data sources including Oracle, PostgreSQL, and telemetry pipelines. Mentored a team of software engineers in best practices for CI/CD, DevOps, and system design while maintaining focus on performance and usability.
Designed full-stack systems combining Node.js, React, and PostgreSQL to manage complex manufacturing and test data. Developed data APIs and dashboards providing real-time visibility into job performance and telemetry streams from fabrication processes. Improved system uptime and scalability through Docker-based deployment pipelines and cloud resource optimization. Collaborated with hardware and software teams to align data pipelines with engineering workflows supporting Europa Clipper, Perseverance Rover, and NEO Surveyor missions.
Built internal analytics and forecasting applications using Node.js and PostgreSQL for high-throughput ad-tech systems. Designed APIs enabling data aggregation across multiple business systems, improving decision speed and accuracy.
Led development of large-scale enterprise applications integrating web front-ends with secure backend services. Facilitated Agile collaboration between development, UX, and data teams to streamline delivery and improve maintainability.
Delivered full-stack and systems integration projects for clients including Hyundai, Green Dot Corp, and Oaktree Capital. Built automation tools and internal dashboards to improve system performance and operational insight.
- •C++-oriented development with attention to memory, timing, and determinism
- •Implementing data paths between sensors, controllers, and higher-level systems
- •Applying RTOS concepts, scheduling, and jitter awareness
- •Architecting pipelines from hardware/edge to ground: collectors → brokers → databases → APIs → dashboards
- •Designing telemetry and command data flows that are observable and robust
- •Supporting operations teams with tools that make real-time data usable
- •Building software for test stands, chambers, and manufacturing lines
- •Integrating DAQs, instruments, and shop-floor tooling with databases and web UIs
- •Providing visibility, traceability, and automation for test campaigns
Designed a real-time telemetry-style pipeline: edge collectors in C++ feeding a message-broker concept and time-series storage, visualized through a modern web dashboard.
Built internal tools and integrations around manufacturing and test operations, giving engineers real-time insight into job status, test progress, and inventory.
Applied RAII, deterministic loops, and jitter awareness in C++ designs for data collection.
Comfortable thinking in terms of messages, topics, and streams rather than just CRUD.
Experienced with Linux, containers, reverse proxies, and deploying internal tools for engineering teams.
Designed a software architecture to continuously collect temperature, vibration, and pressure data from environmental test chambers and expose it to a live dashboard.
Led development of internal systems to track fabrication jobs, tool crib inventory, and shop-floor status.
Helped an EV hardware startup unify their CRM, website, and operations tools.
Telemetry-Style Test Data Pipeline
Achieved low-latency, predictable updates suitable for spotting anomalies during test runs, and established a pattern similar to ground telemetry systems.
Manufacturing & Inventory Systems
Improved traceability and reduced friction in fabrication and test preparation workflows—key for environments that handle flight or engineering hardware with strict configuration control.
Automation & Integrations
Freed the team to focus on engineering and deployment while the system handled repetitive data tasks. Demonstrated the same mindset needed for mission-operations tools: reduce manual, error-prone steps.
I'm open to roles in:
- •Flight Software (pathway / mid)
- •Ground Software / Mission Systems
- •Test Automation & Manufacturing Test Software
- •Internal Tools for Aerospace and Defense Engineering Teams
If your team is building spacecraft, high-reliability systems, or the tools that support them, I'd be happy to talk.
