Growing up in the beautiful U.S. Virgin Islands on a healthy diet of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, I spent my nights looking skyward. When my home was ravaged by not one, but two hurricanes of near-biblical proportions, I felt an obligation to join the battle for our planet’s future. I found my calling in space.
That calling anchors a broader curiosity about the big ideas that could change how we live in, build upon, move through, and understand our world. I’m most energized by the unexpected creativity that emerges where seemingly disparate domains meet, and I enjoy translating between them to connect ideas, people, and new possibilities along the way. This portfolio brings together some of the projects that curiosity has led me to build and explore.
I hope you enjoy!

Earth observation
Google Flights for Earth observation: a metadata-driven interface for exploring who can see what and when across commercial and civil spacecraft. It models past, present, and future virtual constellations and interoperability opportunities without requiring direct integration with individual operators.

Applied AI
Wingman gives cyclists a computer vision-based second set of eyes for about $10 in materials, roughly 20x cheaper than radar-based alternatives. Using a rearward-facing camera connected to a microcontroller, Wingman draws on the processing power already in the rider's phone to locate and classify approaching traffic.
Space systems
Simulation of on-orbit free-flying light sail deployment from the Cornell Alpha CubeSat, developed and choreographed in Unreal Engine 4.
Geospatial
Track smells around your area. Smell something stinky? Report it! Smell something heavenly and want others to experience it? Enlighten your friends. In a world where smells are our dearest sense, Aromap is your guiding light.
Photography
What I enjoy most about long-exposure photography is uncovering color and structure beyond what the human eye can see in environments that we frequently take for granted. Capturing these hidden details requires escaping the city to find skies that light pollution is making increasingly rare.
