- Building and maintaining infrastructure that supports our company

San Francisco, California, United States

- "Shadow-engineering", maintaining and developing tools to support our workforces and clinics. I built an inventory tracking frontend for our clinics, new tooling to enforce training completion, scripts to support timesheet management, and more.- Managing inventory tracking, inventory procurement, and building new tools to improve those processes. I drove.

Member of the Europa Clipper teamPerforming research to improve the scientific yield of the mission by identifying how data already scheduled to be collected can be used for entirely different purpose

Santa Cruz, California, United States

Wrote Python code to generate and then statistically analyze synthetic planetary shapes to identify how Europa Clipper can reuse other data to study Europa's geophysics.Developed analytical models of fault formation and magma ascent to demonstrate the potential for a novel form of volcanism ("ferrovolcanism") on metallic asteroids.Used and extended.

Santa Cruz

Sole instructor for an advanced undergraduate and graduate classTeaching geophysical reasoning and remote data collection as it applies to planets and their interiors.I learned how to communicate complex scientific topics at a basic level and how to frame concepts to make them most accessible.
