I stepped down as CEO of Kubos to address my mental health issues including trauma and depression. Over 2 years I sought professional help and medication, and in the meantime attempted joining a few companies (Brave, Abstract, and the Filecoin Foundation) to try and find my footing again, but ultimately I ended up not being ready to return to being productive. It wasn't until fall 2022 that I was ready to re-enter the world with the help of therapy, family, and friends.

Kubos is a satellite software company focused on improving developer productivity and flight software quality. The Kubos platform includes everything a satellite mission needs from mission design and on-board software, to hardware test and mission operations in the cloud.
