I'm currently a graduate student working in Dr. Hanspeter Schaub's Autonomous Vehicle Systems (AVS) Lab on the Basilisk astrodynamics framework at the University of Colorado Boulder.

I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in aerospace engineering, where I take a hybrid of astrodynamics, controls, and systems engineering coursework. This includes topics such as spacecraft formation flying, spaceflight dynamics, and spacecraft design.

Previously, I worked full-time as a Software Engineer in distributed computing on an RPC framework. Since transitioning to work in the Aerospace Engineering Industry, I have served as a graduate research assistant in the Hypersonic Systems Lab at the Center for National Security Initiatives. Additionally, I was a flight algorithms intern at Starfish Space, where I worked on RPO algorithms and support systems.

My goal is to work on spacecraft performing novel and cool missions that push us towards a future where humanity is out exploring the stars!
