A bit about me
I'm a software engineer at The MITRE Corporation, where I work on problems spanning modeling & simulation, digital twins, and immersive technology. I care deeply about meaningfully integrating the physical and digital worlds, and the technical and human sides of complex systems.
Outside of work I am passionate about aviation, history, and linguistics. I am most proud of my role in Civil Air Patrol, helping to mentor the next generation of aerospace and STEM leaders.
