Shawn Palmer

Driven by his profound passion for technology, Shawn is an invaluable addition to the EarthOptics team. He finds importance in a company that tries to make the world a better place and, when he discovered that his personal values align perfectly with EarthOptics’ mission, he was excited to join the team. Shawn’s motivation stems from his love for building and seeing the practical application of his projects.

Originally from Philadelphia, PA, Shawn’s journey has taken him across the United States, where he has installed GPS tracking equipment on a diverse range of university buses and fleet vehicles. At EarthOptics, he brings a wealth of experience, including the construction of portable Raman spectrometers, overseeing production lines for microstructure optical diffusers, and his most recent endeavor - designing tactical robots for high-risk scenarios such as reconnaissance and bomb disposal. Beyond the workplace, Shawn enjoys quality time with friends and family, camping and fishing adventures, playing with his dog, and attending concerts. His technical passions extend beyond his job, with a personal hobby of constructing and flying FPV racing drones.
