Projects & Experience
Here are some of the projects and teams I've contributed to, with a focus on engineering, simulation, and mission-critical software.
McMaster Cubesat Team
Software Developer for the McMaster Interdisciplinary Satellite Team. Led a team to develop front end and back end architecture for mission launch and operation, including secure data handling, role-based authentication, and custom visualizations.
REACT – ACHIEVED Competition 2025 (Team RedHorizon)
Rapid Emergency Action and Contingency Tool (REACT): a portable, deployable hyperbaric shelter for EVA emergencies on Mars to mitigate decompression sickness (DCS). Presenting at the Space Generation Advisory Council Conference (Sydney, September).
