About Me
My journey is driven by a fascination with complex systems and the frontier of space. I studied Computer Science and Astronomy at the University of Michigan before attending Rice University, where my work included building mission-critical tools and rocket avionics.
My technical experience spans from building scalable web applications with Michigan Hackers to developing C firmware and full-stack mission control dashboards for Rice Eclipse Rocketry. Space exploration defines my trajectory—a passion reinforced by delivering planetarium presentations through the UMich Astronomical Society and completing an externship at NASA JPL.
I am also a classically trained cellist, having served as Principal Cellist at the Aspen Music Festival and performed multiple times at Carnegie Hall. This background instilled a mindset I carry into all my pursuits—an underlying focus on deep collaboration, rigorous attention to detail, and the continuous drive to refine complex moving parts until they execute flawlessly.
Engineering Experience
Rice Eclipse Rocketry
Engineered flight computer firmware components and full-stack mission control features for a high-power rocketry program. Contributed to deterministic C/FreeRTOS systems processing 1kHz telemetry, alongside a dynamic React-based dashboard routing live diagnostics for three distinct engine configurations.
Michigan Hackers
Served as a core front-end developer for ineed.io, a Next.js web application engineered to scale internship tracking. Collaborated within a 12-person agile environment to deliver secure UI components, dynamic routing, and protected access controls.
Aspen Music Festival & NYSOS
Appointed Principal Cellist for the premier fellowship orchestra at the Aspen Music Festival, following a tenure as the sole first-year undergraduate selected for the NYSOS winter residency at Carnegie Hall. Brought a focus on deep collaboration, high-stakes performance, and precision execution.
