Advancing the future of human spaceflight through artificial intelligence, systems engineering, and digital engineering. I am a NASA AI/ML Engineer and Systems Engineer working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and mission-critical space systems. My focus is applying modern computational techniques to complex engineering problems where reliability, traceability, and mission assurance are essential. My technical interests include: • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning • Systems Engineering & Mission Architecture • Digital Engineering & MBSE • Data Analytics & Decision Support • Human Spaceflight Systems • System Integration & Mission Operations • Robotics & Autonomous Systems Through NASA’s Pathways Program, I support efforts tied to digital engineering transformation and complex engineering environments. I am particularly interested in leveraging AI-enabled tools to improve engineering workflows, knowledge management, and decision support across large-scale space programs. Before NASA, I served 10 years in the U.S. Navy supporting Marine Corps and Seabee units in high-risk operational environments. That experience shaped my approach to leadership, problem-solving, and mission execution under pressure. Today, I am combining that operational background with advanced studies in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to bridge the gap between software, data, and aerospace engineering. Long-term, my goal is to contribute to the future of human spaceflight at the highest level through engineering, exploration, and ultimately astronaut selection. Always open to connecting with engineers, researchers, veterans, and explorers building the future beyond Earth.
