About

I am an Aerospace Engineering student at Mississippi State University and a member of the Shackouls Honors College. My interests include astronautics, spacecraft systems, avionics, embedded systems, systems integration, and engineering test.

My work includes two high-powered SystemsGo rocketry challenges, a custom Raspberry Pi flight computer programmed in Python, software infrastructure, and technical theatre operations spanning live troubleshooting and coordination. I continue to mentor younger high-school rocketry teams on an occasional basis.
