BIO
CEO & Co-Founder of Basalt // I was working at Caltech’s fusion lab when I was hired out of high school to work at MIT AeroAstro on their CubeSat mission. Since then, I’ve spent stints at The Aerospace Corporation and SpaceX working on distributed space systems and the American moon landing. Most recently, I dropped out to build Basalt. My hobbies include hiking and buying infinite whiteboards.
