📚 Designing Better Books
What is the future of books? How can we make learning cheaper and easier by design?

💻 Making Windows Excellent (become a 10x computer user)

👩‍💻 Make CS your Hobby

💡 Most enlightening places on the internet (for CS nerds)

🍎 Best Apps for iOS (from a life-long android fanboy)

🎓 [Coming soon to the Good Thinking Blog] Why Academic Publishing Must Evolve or Implode!

For HackMIT 2017, I owned the ML model construction for our fake news detection system. I’m happy with this extremely creative approach for utilizing stance detection and a dynamic reputation database to classify news.

My work

NASA In-Space Robotics Internships

I worked in NASA’s Autonomy Incubator working on the computer vision systems for the robotic assembly of large satellites or space stations while in orbit.

Won HackMIT 2017 & 2018!

See our AI journaling app! I developed creative novel AI text generation system.

Climbing First Ascent using Custom UAVs

My dad and I made the first ascent of the highest unclimbed peak in Colorado, using my custom built drones to set the ropes.
See the photo & video here!

Who's working on the future of In-Space Assembly? Some of the important work is being done by interns like Kastan Day at @NASA_Langley! Check out Kastan's video via the @AutonomyIncub8r here: https://t.co/RfLACh2Zvr pic.twitter.com/4V0WcIHTgS
