I build tools that make complex systems easier for people to operate safely.

Hello! I'm a human factors researcher and human-computer interaction specialist with a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, focused on space exploration. I study how people use complex systems, then build software that supports that work, from astronauts on deep-space missions to operators managing critical infrastructure.

I currently serve as a researcher in the Human-Computer Interaction Group at NASA Ames Research Center, where I lead research on crew autonomy and human-automation interaction for future exploration missions. I also contribute to the development of Playbook, NASA's mission-critical planning and execution software used in analog missions and lunar operations.

From building mission-critical planning tools to developing simulations for human-in-the-loop research, I combine human factors theory and working software to take research from prototype to deployment. My technical stack includes Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, R, and C#.
