Tim earned a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a double-major in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2001. Tim has spent the past 5 years working for Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD, where he designed and tested hardware and software for spacecraft. He worked on several important projects at the lab including MESSENGER, New Horizons, and STEREO. Tim is a current member of the Americorps Community Technology Centers (CTC) VISTA project and excited to be devoting a year of service to Aspiration and helping others through technology.
Tim is working as Product Manager for the Social Source Commons project. His top-notch research and Google skills have already produced 400 new tools for the database, and we look forward to seeing him catalyze the SSC community and introduce new features and innovations to the platform.
