Architect turned aerospace systems engineer — I'm lucky to be one of very few professionals who combines a MEng in Aerospace Engineering, an MS in Space Architecture, and hands-on lab experience in lunar resource extraction with 6+ years of multi-disciplinary professional experience. Outside of full-time employment and pursuing MEng, I also serve as a Technical Committee member of AIAA Space Architecture group and an Advisory Council member of SciArt Exchange, a NASA-affiliated organization.
