I'm currently at CU Boulder working as a research assistant in Dr. Schaub's AVS Lab. In tandem, I am pursuing my M.S. in Astrodynamics & Satellite Navigation.
I previously worked at Vast, Varda, SpaceX, Blue Origin and NASA doing GNC Engineering internships.
My passion lies in GNC Engineering and I want to continue helping awesome spacecraft fly.
I'm based in Boulder for school and research. Reach out if you want to chat, download my resume here, or check out my other platforms!
Work
-
Autonomous Vehicle Systems Laboratory Graduate Research Assistantship
Lab that researches spacecraft dynamics, formation flying, attitude control, and astrodynamics/flight simulation software.
I support the Basilisk astrodynamics simulation software development.
-
VAST GNC Engineering Intern
Creating the first commercial space station and competing for NASA's CLD contract.
Developed a ton of GNC flight algorithms and flight simulation software in C++.
-
Varda GNC Engineering Intern
Space Drugs and Weapons technology. Space Cartel???
Reentry trajectory analysis, state estimation, Flight Safety Analysis, flight simulation software development, ground station tracking tooling.
-
SpaceX GNC Engineering Intern
Starlink Collision Avoidance GNC software development.
Developed a cool conjunction screening algorithm, the rest of the work was data visualization.
-
Blue Origin GNC Engineering Intern
Lunar Mk1 Mission Design for Blue Moon lunar lander.
Calendar Sweep Automation software for Trajectory Optimization/Generation.
-
NASA GNC Engineering Intern
Attitude Control subsystem design for a massive interplanetary transporter mission design (cough cough Mars).
6-DOF simulation and analysis tool development for RCS thruster sizing and placement.
Projects

Interactive visualization of Keplerian orbital elements for educational purposes.

I worked on the design integration and validation of the Attitude Control System for the Alpha CubeSat.

I designed a PID control system for precise espresso brew temperature control and modded out an actual machine.

Wrote this website with HTML, JS, and CSS, and a bit of stealing code here and there. Thanks Matt. GitHub Repo

C++ Satellite 6-DOF flight sim and 3-DOF LQR Rendezvous sim.

Big and Nasty NASA Matlab 6DOF flight simulation for RCS thruster placement & sizing.
