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.
Hands on experience as a mechanic, pilot, and rocketeer shapes how I think and work. Hardware is the fastest teacher. It rewards curiosity, exposes weak assumptions, and turns mistakes into data. Recognition and credentials are secondary to momentum. What matters is the process: designing, building, testing, revising, and repeating until something new becomes possible. Patents, papers, and performance only matter if they grow out of honest experimentation.
This work is driven by curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to push ideas past comfort and into reality.
I am here to try, to learn, and to fly as close to the sun as the physics allow.
