"We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt."

I'm a Software Engineering student and founder of Nexa, building artificial intelligence that looks upward β€” satellites, climate, geospatial data β€” to solve problems that are, quite literally, down here. My work bridges computer vision, Earth observation, and climate resilience, driven by the belief that responsible technology can open a wormhole between innovation and the communities that need it most.

🌠 Final Transmission

"We are not meant to save the world. We are meant to leave it." β€” reinterpreted: I don't settle for observing Earth through data alone; I build tools so others can care for it better.

Thank you for reading to the end of this transmission. This signal is sent through Nexa, powered by NASA data, and driven by the belief that technology can cross any event horizon.
