Fluid System Designer at SpaceX // YouTube University
Joined July 2022
It’s this mentality that has allowed me (a person without a formal engineering degree) to design and lead the build of various fluid systems at SpaceX. Working shoulder to shoulder on a highly productive engineering team servicing Falcon, Dragon and Starship.
College is overrated.

Just finished Project Hail Mary, listening to The Martian now. I have a ton of work to do so it’s hammer time. I need more audiobook recommendations!.

Taking vacation from a job you love is so tough. It’s impossible to really disconnect. Here I am, sitting on a lake in Georgia, thinking about Starship GSE fluid systems lol.

Unfortunate situations often spark new opportunities. The Launch Hardware team’s founding director used to say, “Semper Gumby”—always stay flexible. This adaptability is what sets us apart and I’ve never been prouder to be part of SpaceX.

Even removing Mars from the equation, Starship will unlock so much terrestrial capability. Large scale orbital manufacturing and heavy mass hypersonic point-to-point being two huge potentialities. What do you think about this SpaceX valuation model? .
