I’m an engineer with a passion for space exploration and pushing our boundaries.
Engineering My career in building things that fly above 100km
Graduating from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, I decided to pursue a career in aeronautics.
My employment at Boeing Satellite Systems has provided me with deep insights into the systems engineering that goes into creating satellites, as well as knowledge of the components, orbital maneuvers, and analysis methods required to make the mission a success. As a GNC Engineer, I’ve contributed to control algorithm designs for GPS positioning and propulsion systems, as well as producing analysis on attitude determination errors.
My interests lie in Guidance, Navigation, and Control of space systems, Dynamics, Optimization, and Numerical Computing Methods for simulations. I hope to incorporate these techniques in contributing to advanced space systems that will improve access to space for all.
Trajectory Optimization
My goal is to create a world where our air and space continues to be accessible to all people
