prototyped autonomous satellites with an MIT AeroAstro professor, funded by NSF (1st-author pending publications)
launched a payload 400,000 feet into space at NASA Wallops
built a search-and-rescue startup out of Founders, Inc. w/ $45,000+ in grants
won a gold medal at the USA Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad (invited to IOAA)

was selected as a ChatGPT Futures Honoree, Pete Conrad Scholar, Regeneron STS Scholar, Non-Trivial Fellow, & Emergent Ventures Grantee
the day after i graduated high school, i moved to NYC for the summer to be a Scout Fund Partner @ Also Capital ($200M AUM), investing $100,000 in emerging hard tech and meeting founders from portcos like Varda and Northwood Space.
next summer, i'll be joining SpaceX's Starshield team in Hawthorne as a satellite engineering intern for defense intelligence (landed off a cold email to Elon Musk).
