My name is Caleb Jones and i'm a Software Engineer in Test with years of experience as QA Engineer. I'm from Atlanta, Georgia and i'm currently working at Magnet Forensics. I'm a Founder and Board Member of The Space Devs and I'm the Founder and Developer of Space Launch Now a popular mobile application for tracking spaceflight events!

This is my main side project, a spaceflight tracker for Android and iOS using data from The Space Devs - Launch Library API. It was first launched in 2016 as the first quality spaceflight even tracking mobile app at a time where renewed public focus was being brought in thanks to the efforts of SpaceX. The project is very mature now with a robust CI/CD pipeline, backend services for GCM, Twitter/Instagram bots and other various services all running on a Digital Ocean hosted kubernetes cluster.
