Rethinking Propulsion through smarter materials and simpler methods.
Mission
Progress comes from trying things that might not work.
My work lives at the edge of propulsion, manufacturing, and applied materials science, where new ideas are tested against reality and failure is not avoided but examined. The focus is on problems that do not yet have clean answers and on systems that demand experimentation rather than certainty. Building is a way to explore. Testing is a way to discover. Failure is an early signal, not an endpoint.
I value bold questions matter more than safe solutions, and iteration matters more than perfection. Flying close to the sun is not recklessness; it is a commitment to learning where limits actually are. Every prototype is an invitation to find them—carefully, deliberately, and with respect for the forces involved.
The Pantheon is a growing family of propulsion systems, each named after a figure from Greek mythology to reflect its purpose, design logic, and constraints. The names aren’t decorative. They’re shorthand for how each system behaves and what tradeoffs it’s willing to make.
About
I am a senior at Saint John’s School (Class of 2026) in Houston, Texas, with a focused interest in aerospace propulsion, manufacturing, and applied materials science. My work has been recognized at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, with awards and distinctions from Jacobs Engineering, SpaceX, Regeneron, the Scripps Foundation, and the National Space Society.
