BIO
I have been working on some of the hardest technical challenges for almost a decade. I spent 6 years as SpaceX leading the engineering and production teams for the parachutes and between that also worked as the Plasma-Facing-Components Technical team lead at Commonwealth Fusion Systems. Now as co-founder of Beyond Reach Labs, we are currently working to enable space megastructures to be deployed from a single rocket launch and to accelerate the design of deployable space systems.
