Leith Rabah

I'm a software engineer currently building and testing the systems behind Launch Control Center operations at Kennedy Space Center. My background spans backend automation, test infrastructure, and full-stack development, including two years building cross-platform applications and real-time hardware tools. I graduated with a B.S in Computer Engineering at UCF.

  • Build and maintain Python-based automated test suites with Behave/Cucumber and BDD methodology, writing new scenarios and debugging failures to raise regression coverage on mission-critical systems.
  • Develop and troubleshoot software for Launch Control Center (LCC) operational environments, resolving defects that affect ground-system maintainability.
  • Automate deployment and configuration across LCC server environments with AWX and Ansible, turning releases into repeatable, low-risk operations.
  • Run root-cause analysis on software and system failures, documenting findings so fixes and knowledge transfer happen faster across the team.
  • Review and merge code with fellow engineers through Git-based workflows, resolving integration conflicts while keeping the codebase production-quality.
