Unified flight software and hardware for the mission of tomorrow
Elodin creates flight software, simulations, and hardware for drones, satellites, and defense.
Elodin provides a platform to design, test, and deploy autonomous aerospace systems, combining hardware and software for AI-driven flight. It supports drones, satellites, and aerospace robotics with open, modular flight software and high-performance simulation and testing tools.
Elodin offers an aerospace simulation platform and open flight computer stack. It includes a modular Aleph flight computer designed for customization and upgrades, a flight software suite that runs SITL/HITL tests with NVIDIA Jetson Orin support, a simulation platform that connects flight software and hardware via an expressive API for physics simulations (Rust/Python, GPU-accelerated), and cloud-enabled large-scale testing (Monte Carlo simulations). It provides live telemetry, an open development environment, and plug-and-play software ready to fly, with hardware designed for COTS components and rapid updates and repairs.
Who it’s for: Aerospace companies, research institutions, robotics developers, educational institutions, and teams building drones or satellites that require fast, GPU-accelerated simulation pipelines and autonomous control System design, testing, and deployment.

A technology adventurer experienced in tanks (and armored warfare in general), video games (playing and making them), sales/marketing & CRM/LMS/digital content platforms, real estate investment platforms, SaaS API platforms generally, blockchain technology (both core technology and services), and aerospace technology (specifically rocketry, guidance and control systems)
One-man design and marketing team. Designer and product leader with 10+ years of experience spanning software UI/UX, brand development, and marketing communications. Includes working across early-stage startups and high-growth companies, with deep experience in design systems, motion and interaction design, prototyping, creative direction, and cross-functional product development.
Grew up in New Jersey, and studied electrical + computer engineering at Rutgers. I entered the startup world with M10, where I worked on distributed systems and developed a passion for systems engineering. After M10, I went to Google to work on kubernetes networking, focusing of programmable data planes. I tend to spend my free time either reading fantasy/sci-fi or working on my homelab (which keeps growing).
Co-founder of Elodin Systems, developers of simulation tools for aerospace. I'm a software engineer by practice and a physicist by training. I've worked on a wide variety of projects throughout my career from a database for central banks to the flight software for a deep space mission. I'm passionate about building simple, elegant solutions to complex problems. In my spare time, I try and get outdoors as much as possible, which usually means climbing or skiing.
We help aerospace engineers rapidly design, test, and simulate control systems
Elodin offers a Python-based physics library and a cloud Monte Carlo simulator to help aerospace engineers rapidly design, test, and simulate control systems for drones, satellites, and eVTOLs. It enables running large numbers of simulations (Monte Carlo) from a laptop and includes a live 3D viewer for analyzing results.
