Problem
Launch work is often constrained by fragmented operational state. A good planning tool reduces ambiguity at the exact moment teams need to reason across dependencies, not inside isolated discipline dashboards.

Case file / 2025
A readiness and scheduling console for launch campaigns with typed constraint tracking, timeline visibility, and operator handoff context.
Public materials are still being curated. The internal case file below is the current source of truth until supporting assets are ready to publish.

My role
State-model design, timeline interaction design, and architecture direction for a multi-team operational planning surface.
Technical highlights
Modeled readiness as typed status slices so propulsion, range, vehicle, and mission inputs can publish independently without collapsing into one global form.
Kept timeline state separate from domain status state so operators can read what changed without losing the source of the change.
Designed the interface around operational review, not around static data entry.
Used timeline-first navigation to surface sequence, dependencies, and escalation points under time pressure.
Impact
Produced a clearer operational shell for readiness review than a checklist-oriented tool would provide.
Architecture overview
The project framed as a system: the problem, the solution boundary, and the architecture choices that make the implementation credible.
Problem
Launch work is often constrained by fragmented operational state. A good planning tool reduces ambiguity at the exact moment teams need to reason across dependencies, not inside isolated discipline dashboards.
Solution
Launch Window Planner treats launch preparation as a coordination system rather than a static checklist. It assembles readiness signals across domains, tracks evolving window constraints, and gives operators a timeline view of what changed, what is blocked, and what becomes critical next.

Implementation Notes
Designed the interface around operational review, not around static data entry.
Used timeline-first navigation to surface sequence, dependencies, and escalation points under time pressure.
Left room for later alerting and audit history without overloading the first prototype.

Vault 01 / 2026
An on-chain marketplace for satellite imaging tasks where requesters fund capture jobs, operators bond execution commitments, and escrow settles against verifiable SLA outcomes.
Built
Full-stack system design and implementation across smart contracts, verifier-service architecture, wallet-connected frontend flows, local developer tooling, and deployment-oriented project structure.
Satellite capture agreements are not just procurement records; they are timing-sensitive operational commitments with real failure modes. If requirements, evidence, and payment logic are loosely managed, it becomes hard to prove whether an operator actually met the task or whether a requester is justified in disputing delivery. This project is interesting because it turns an aerospace coordination problem into a system with explicit trust boundaries across contracts, storage, verification, and operator-facing workflows.

A provenance rail for mission telemetry that signs critical state changes and preserves an auditable path from raw data to reviewable findings.
Built
Provenance model design, ingestion pipeline architecture, and workflow definition for anomaly review and downstream verification.
In mission environments, raw data alone is not enough. Teams need to know what record was observed, who processed it, what changed later, and whether a conclusion can be defended under review.
