Lead developer for Virtual Reality Astrodynamics Applications.- Currently leading a small team to engineer innovative solutions to astrodynamics problems using virtual-reality visualizations and interactions.- Co-first author and presenter of "Cislunar CR3BP Periodic Orbit Identification in Virtual Reality" at the AAS Astrodynamics Specialist Conference in August 2023.- Built a Unity VR app for designing trajectories in cislunar space using a chain of position/velocity pairs.- Created a tool for designing orbit->orbit, orbit->point, and point->orbit transfers in cislunar space using VR spatial interactions.- Developed a comprehensive event-driven user-interface toolkit for Unity VR applications, with support for both traditional 2D menu interactions and 3D spatial menus.- Developed a VR system for displaying and interacting with graphs to select energy levels for orbit-chaining transfers.- Created a unity plugin for displaying iso-surfaces using the marching cubes algorithm, with the objective of showing zero-velocity surfaces in a CR3BP environment.

Lead Software Engineer for TRYAD, ASTRA-HyRAX, QUEST, and ASTRA-ETHEREA Missions- Running weekly meetings and working with team members and other team-leads to ensure missions remain on schedule.- Currently training new members on python, hardware communication, concurrency, unit-testing, and software development principles.- Built Python-based APIs for handling communication with our UHF radio, GPS unit, X-Band Radio, and EPS microcontroller, and designed a system for inter-subsystem communication using local GraphQL requests.- Designed the AUSSP scheduler system for handling recurring, timed, and one-off tasks across all missions.- Designed the AUSSP telemetry and health system for storing satellite telemetry in a lightweight on-board SQL database, transmitting compressed data to a ground-station, and autonomously analyzing, identifying, and remedying potential issues.- Designed the AUSSP mission application system for quickly building and deploying tasks to satellites while in orbit.- Developed the Auburn University Ground Station (AUGS) software, which uses an SQL backend and a flask-supported web frontend to allow for satellite command and data retrieval from a ground-station.

Received a year-long fellowship to pursue research on using artificial intelligence mapping techniques to catalog and resolve orbits in cislunar space.- First Author and presenter of "Analyzing Data-Driven CR3BP Orbit Representations for Immersive Astrodynamics Catalogs" at the AIAA SCITECH forum in January 2024.- Created a convolutional neural network-based autoencoder for encoding and decoding CR3BP orbits as a vector of 5 values.- Tested convolutional vs linear neural networks, and researched a range of different data representation methods to settle on a voxel-oriented system.- Successfully demonstrated encoding and decoding a range of orbits from JPL's 3-body orbit catalog.- Presented at the Auburn Research Symposium in March 2024, and won Best Undergraduate Oral Presentation in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering.- Published a research highlight of this work to the Auburn University Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship.
