My main focus is to design, optimize and analyze rocket trajectories to ensure accuracy, stability and safety throughout the flight process. I focus on developing and implementing software tools tailored for trajectory design, optimization, and flight data analysis and processing.In addition to orbit-related tasks, I am actively involved in the launch planning and decision-making process to ensure that the rocket trajectory is consistent with the intended goals for each phase of the mission. I am deeply involved in propulsion system performance optimization, fuel studies, integration, test planning and data analysis. My goal is to ensure that rocket engines meet optimal performance and safety standards during launch operations.

Create analysis tools, applications, and execution pipelines that allow vehicles to be flown quickly, reliably, and robustly for the GNC teamDesign and lead development of new software projectsReview existing tools and processes and drive more efficient or more reliable approachesParticipate in all phases of a mission, from feasibility analysis and research to concrete mission design and launch operationsPerform trajectory design, optimization, and dispersion analysis for Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicle missions for all phases of flight including ascent, entry and landing, and fairing recovery
