Bio
Co-Founder & CEO @ Spaceium (S24) I love space and grew up wanting to be an astronaut one day. I co-founded Spaceium to build space infrastructure for a better new space economy. I specialize in orbital mechanics and rocket propulsion systems. Previously, I worked on Aerodynamic models for NASA, built models for interplanetary transfers for an unmanned return mission to an asteroid in real time, and built rocket engines, payload structures, and recovery systems.
