Studying away at the University of Edinburgh.
I'm a third-year at Duke studying CS and Physics with concentrations in AI/ML/astrophysics and a math minor. I'm interested in technology that builds — or builds on — sharper models of the world, and in proliferating it thoughtfully. Previously at SpaceX, GWU, TJHSST. Always open to talk!
sep–dec 2026
2025–now
Lead software engineer at Liberata, an open-source academic publishing platform with peer-review and replication incentives. Handling data infrastructure, file processing, integration of novel scholarly metrics.
summer 2025
Policy work at the GWU Space Policy Institute. Wrote a technical report on space governance grounded in Svalbard and Tangier shared governance precedent. Presented at the 2025 ISU/GWU Expert Workshop supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
2022–24
Independent astrophysics research at UMD in collaboration with NASA, advised by Tad Komacek. Incorporated stellar gravity darkening into Navier-Stokes general circulation models to develop the most sophisticated atmospheric model of exoplanets at the time. Weeks-long simulations on UMD's Zaratan HPC cluster. Presented at ISEF 2023 in Dallas.
2022–23
Research at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. Modeled the solar magnetic field to predict and mitigate space weather phenomena. Examined Faraday Rotation near the Sun using Parker Solar Probe ephemeris to identify optimal observation windows in support of a successful Very Large Array proposal. Presented at ISDC 2025 in Washington, D.C.
summer 2026
GNC engineering at SpaceX in Hawthorne, CA. Conceived, implemented, and tested an intelligent energy-conscious payload utilization algorithm for the Starshield satellite constellation in support of national security.
spring 2025
Data engineer at Turbo AI. Scaled an edtech AI startup from 1.5M to 3M users and past $3M ARR. PostHog instrumentation, retention and churn modeling, pricing and UI iteration via A/B testing.
2025
1st place at the 8VC × Meta × Duke Hackathon ($2,000). Built AutoResQ, a service that monitors traffic-camera feeds, detects accidents with AI, and pushes real-time video and alerts.
