About Me!
Hi, my name is Alex Tacescu, and I am a lead software engineer at Inversion Space. Throughout the 14+ years of experience working with robots and 5+ years working in the space industry, I have designed and built over 20 robots, launched countless space missions (including 4+ crewed missions, NASA DART, built and launched a satellite into space with Inversion, written hundreds of thousands lines of code, and worked for companies like SpaceX, Tesla and Amazon Robotics.
My motivation for this website is two-fold: share my knowledge, projects, and successes with everyone around the world while having a place to save my personal debugging techniques, show off some of my favorite projects, and share my passion for technology with the world! Therefore, this website will contain all sorts of topics including robotics, 3d printing, software, AI, and more! I hope you find some of the information useful and entertaining! Enjoy!
