About Me
Hello! My name is Keith Tweed, and I'm a university student studying Computing Science at the University of Alberta.

My hobbies include amateur radio, 3D printing, fountain pens, and coffee - ask me about any of these and I'll probably talk your ear off.
Since March 2024, I have been the Operations Director at The Northern Alberta Radio Club. I have an Advanced certification in amateur radio, and primarily use P25 and DMR. I also experiment with data modes such as VARA, AX.25, and LoRa. Amateur radio allows me to learn more about electronic components and radio wave behaviour and propogation at a hobbyist level, and allows for contact with people around the world.
I joined AlbertaSat in February 2023, and became the communications team lead in September 2023. AlbertaSat is a group at the University of Alberta focused on designing and building satellites. I came into AlbertaSat through my interest in amateur radio, and since then, I have been able to contribute to the Ex-Alta 2 cubesat mission, the BIRDS-X payload competition, and the upcoming Ex-Alta 3 mission. My work primarily involves designing and building the communications subsystems for these satellites, as well as coordinating with other team leads to ensure successful integration of our systems.
