Traversing space and decentralized systems

I’m Ratna — an Aerospace & Computer Science major at the University of Colorado Boulder. I design production-grade agentic systems, build high-performance backends, and prototype flight-adjacent simulations that push the edge of aerospace and blockchain technology.
