I’m an aerospace engineer working across robotics, UAS, software, and autonomous systems.

My background includes about five years at NIST developing test methods and evaluation frameworks for uncrewed systems used in emergency-response and performance-focused robotics work. In parallel, I founded Curiosell Systems, LLC, where I build and publish iOS apps and developer tools focused on computer vision, diagnostics, and other practical technical workflows.

I’m especially interested in the full path from concept to working system: defining requirements, building or analyzing the system itself, testing it in realistic conditions, and turning the results into something useful and repeatable.
