About

Me

I am Jonathan Wagner and this is jonathanwagner.net. I am an electrical engineer living in Lafayette, LA. While an undergraduate at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL), I began work on the communications system of Louisiana’s first university built satellite, CAPE1. CAPE1 is a picosatellite measuring less no more than 10 cm in any direction and weighing less than 1 kg which was launched from Bakinour, Kazakhstan on April 17, 2007. Since 2005, I have worked as an engineer under contract to ITT Electronic Systems while continuing as a mentor to students in the CAPE project and now to students in the university’s senior design program. My current interests are digital signal processing (DSP), the idea of software defined hardware, embedded systems, OSS, Linux and coffee—lots of coffee.
