From playful machines of light and motion to observatory-class instruments on mountaintops and in space, these are some projects I’ve helped bring to life.

Hundreds of stars at once, one instrument: a fiber-fed spectrograph I helped build for Magellan.

Tuning JWST/MIRI’s vision: PSF calibration and OTIS testing inside Chamber A.

Two robot telescopes, one bright star — autonomy that ran through storms and still found new worlds.

Spectra with context: IFUs that turn patches of sky into data-rich maps

A sound-aware, phone-controlled cloud that paints music and sleep cues in light.

Butterflies that really flutter — a tiny-robotics fairy wreath made for my niece.
