I am fortunate enough to have spent most of my career working on projects in deep space. As a navigator, first at KinetX Aerospace and later at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), I helped guide spacecraft to Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, and comets 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and Hartley 2. I have a passion for astrodynamic software, as a user, developer, and educator. At JPL I worked as a developer on the Monte software platform and later transitioned into training and outreach lead for the project.Over the past several years, my interests have turned increasingly towards technical leadership and the challenge of organizing smart people to tackle difficult, poorly-defined problems. As a group supervisor at JPL, I managed a diverse group of engineers working on topics ranging from small body trajectory research to high performance computing services. At Planetary Resources, I guided the formation of an in-house astrodynamics group, and matured the mission design of an ambitious, low-cost asteroid exploration mission. I also served as Navigation Lead at Advanced Space, where I led a Phase I SBIR on the sustainability of extremely low lunar orbits, and served as mission design lead on a NASA Discovery Mission proposal team.I now spend my time applying modern software techniques to the problem of space mission design and navigation with my company Navi, particularly in the region of cislunar space. I also offer onsite and remote training for JPL's Monte through my software training company Astroceanic.
