BIO
I care deeply about space, sustainability, and using economics and engineering to build a future worth living in for all humankind. In 2023, I co-founded Vista Power (fka. Vista Space) to help businesses use clean energy to save money on energy bills for $0 upfront. Previously, I worked on profit improvement at Starlink, built supply chain analytics tooling at Rocket Lab, and ran a software startup called Tour (acquired), which I co-founded in high school.
