“I’m a Redondo Beach based space dynamics engineer at Northrop Grumman who has recently worked on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope as well as various other programs. At work, I develope, automate, and conduct physics simulations for space vehicle verification. In the past, I’ve been involved with microfluidics, 3D design, renewable power generation, rocketry, computer vision, neural networks, crypto toolkit development. My passion lies in creating, analyzing, and optimizing awesomely effective engineering solutions by developing and refining code. Let’s keep scrolling and learn more about me!”

A Bit More About Me
I was born in Scottsdale, AZ and have lived in The Golden State since the age of 8. I’m a traveler, experimental chef, maker, sports lover, science YouTube channel lover, PC enthusiast, Kerbal Space Program master, and an ex water polo player that has competed in the Junior Olympics and captained Fullerton College’s water polo team.
Some of my favorite hobbies are lifting weights, swimming, visiting national parks, and just traveling in general. I also genuinely enjoy working on solutions to troubling and difficult problems in the fields I’m interested in.
