The programs that navigate this successfully are not the ones with the largest systems integrator. They are the ones with the clearest interface ownership, the most disciplined data model governance, and the test infrastructure to catch integration failures early.

Flight test and mission systems demand more than just code, they require seamless orchestration between hardware, software, and timing. We build high-performance tools that fuse data into mission-ready platforms designed to meet real-world conditions.

The real value of being human isn’t just in what we do alone: it’s in what we learn from each other, the problems we solve together, and the drive that comes from being surrounded by people who care.

Live at head! It's the year 2025...stop pinning dependencies to legacy versions!

I've been thinking about how to enable LLMs to better assist writing production-ready code. Check out my new blog post: johnfarrier.com/why-better-pro…

I'm excited to announce that I'll be presenting a new talk titled "Branch Prediction: Lessons From the Hot Path" at this year's @meetingcpp in Berlin!

Perfect requirements exist only in hindsight—and even then, they're up for debate. Stakeholders rarely know what they want until they see what they don’t. Any so-called 'final' requirement is just a placeholder until the next demo.

Modeling & Simulation isn’t about predicting the future perfectly; it's about extracting actionable knowledge from data to confidently navigate uncertainty.

If your models aren’t helping you navigate complexity with confidence, they’re just expensive guesses dressed up in code.
