Please enjoy my website of humble bragging.
I made it just for you!
Robotics engineer, volleyball player, artist,
and avid enjoyer of good times.
Thanks for visiting my website! I am an engineer with a "jack-of-all-trades" brain and a "golden retriever" heart. I am in the process of learning as much as I can so that I can be as impactful as possible. I'm always in the mood to chat, so please go down to the 'Contact Me' section and reach out if anything here piques your interest.
After graduating from MIT in 2021 with Bachelors Degree in Aerospace Engineering, a minor in Computer Science, and an Acting HASS (Humanities Arts and Social Science) concentration, I moved to LA to work at the Aerospace Corporation. Here, I found myself at home in the Cooperative Autonomous Vehicle Ecosystem Laboratory (CAVE Lab), where I spent most of my working hours programming robotics hardware to reflect satellite space flight to enable myself and my team to develop hardware and software to support Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO), In-orbit Servicing and Manufacturing (ISAM), and Space Mobility and Logistics (SM&L).
Working on a wide variety of hardware and software platforms in the lab has been a core part of my experience at Aerospace. Here I'm shown working on a computer vision payload from Aerospace's Slingshot 1 Modular Cubesat, which used a gimbaled miniature satellite to train a computer vision model for pose-estimation of spacecraft, as well as generate data for public distribution. While I didn't develop directly
These fields of space vehicle mission operations all involve close-proximity (1-10 meter) satellite maneuvers, which require high precision and autonomous control due to telemetry delays in control signals from the ground. In the space industry, there is currently a large market to apply AI, ML, RL, Computer Vision, and other modern software technologies to these problems to place trustworthy autonomous agents in orbit. My work in the CAVE Lab has furthered almost every aspect of our ability to test these software and hardware tools on the ground before sending them into space, which has a plethora of benefits for companies and researchers hoping to fly vehicles in the aforementioned mission areas.
As an engineer that never stopped trying to drink out of the firehose, I have gained quite an interesting assortment of new skills since graduating that I would not have envisioned myself ever working with:
In my free time, I find myself cycling between my favorite hobbies, diving back into one with fervor until inevitably flinging myself right back into another.
