I was raised on the east coast and am now on the west coast but I still think the ocean is to the east.

education 🎓
I received a B.S. of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Math from the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD).
The Math degree was definitely just for fun.
career 🖥️
Since graduating I've only had one job so it's pretty simple for now.
SpaceX 🚀
Summer 2021, 2022-Present | Structures Engineer | Starship Tower Engineering
Working on the Starship launch engineering team to design, test, and build a tower capable of catching the world's largest rocket.
This does consume most of my time.
Highlights:
- Flight 1 of Starship and dealing with the carnage at the pad that was left behind.
- Being a part of the planning and installation of the Cape Canaveral Tower chopsticks.
- The crazy sprint between Flight 4 and 5 to prepare for the first catch of Super Heavy.
- Successfully catching Super Heavy during Flight 5. 🗼🥢🚀
