TECH NOTES
by Stanislav Pankevich

About

Intro

Hello, my name is Stanislav! I am a software engineer who specializes in spacecraft avionics software in the space industry for the past few years. Prior to that, I worked as a web and mobile application developer.

I am fascinated by topics such as computer redundancy, spacecraft buses, time synchronization, failure detection, isolation and recovery (FDIR), as well as safety-critical software systems and systems engineering. I believe that solving problems related to these topics is crucial to making spaceflight more accessible, affordable, and safe, and I am dedicated to contributing to these technological developments.

What is in this blog?

This blog features updates from my spare-time activities as an open-source software developer. My daily work is pretty well separated from my open source and blogging activities, so in this blog, I mostly write about general software development-related topics like how-to guides, tool notes, testing and other miscellaneous things.

StrictDoc project

Some time ago, when I was deciding which topics to work on in my spare time, I chose to focus on Requirements Engineering. My most recent open-source project is called StrictDoc. The goal of the StrictDoc project is to create a free and open-source tool for writing, analyzing, and exchanging requirements. Although I have limited time to devote to this project, I am confident that with enough dedication and continuous attention, I can make significant progress. It makes me happy to see that people, including myself, are already using it, which inspires me to keep developing it further.
