I'm a design engineering student at Brown University interested in the business operations side of hardtech and national security technology that will define the next generation.
This summer, I'm joining Stoke Space as a business development intern. Previously, I've worked across supply chain, strategy, and venture in frontier technology.
I love meeting like-minded people; reach me by email.
The work I've done so far.
I'll be joining Stoke Space to help with business development around fully reusable launch systems and the ecosystem that surrounds them. More soon, once I've actually spent time on the ground.
At HavocAI, I helped evaluate suppliers, understand unit cost drivers, and map risk across critical components for unmanned surface vessels. I worked closely with engineering and leadership to translate technical and regulatory constraints into concrete business decisions.
At FedTech, I worked with U.S. government stakeholders and founders to commercialize deep tech and defense technologies through venture capital, spending most of my time evaluating technologies for the U.S. Navy's innovation branch (NavalX), and figuring out how to bridge federal and commercial needs.
A few structured places I've gotten to learn from people building in frontier tech and public service.
Diligence on early-stage frontier technology companies assessing government alignment.
Explored policy and governance while working alongside students and leaders in DC.

Things I'd like to share with you.
If you care about the future of American industry, spend time inside factories. You see how products actually get built and what it takes to scale production in real environments. The factories I visit are defense subcontractors supporting companies like RTX, Sikorsky, and General Dynamics. Some of the factories I’ve toured:

Books:
I’m not very bullish on AI-native browsers because they try to replace my intent rather than support it. Most of the time, I know what I’m looking for, and these tools add friction instead of removing it. They also tend to centralize workflows in ways that feel restrictive when browsing should stay user-directed!
I see this quote almost every time I open Instagram via the Clearspace app which limits my screen time. It’s true though especially in recent events, it’s sometimes best to limit your knowledge about what’s happening in the world or else you’ll just doom about it.
Whatever you’re progressing towards, just be progressing towards something rather than wading in decision paralysis.
It’s easy to be swayed by loud, superficial individuals. Be skeptical.
I would probably rather hang out a friend if it means I’ll do my assignment in one hour rather than mindlessly extending it over three.
