I'm the creator of the Cosmos Library — part blog, part resource hub, part portfolio. It's the place where I bring my vision of space exploration into one spot: the latest happenings, the tools I'm building, and the ideas that keep me up at night.
Why Space?
Space has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. The idea of exploration — of finding out where we fit in this cosmos, what our stewardship of this corner of the galaxy means for our eternal nature. The thought of seeing a whole new planet, or looking back at our solar system from somewhere entirely new, has always excited and terrified me in equal measure.
The science and the potential feel just within reach. If I had to point to one vision of how humanity eventually gets there, it's The Expanse — gritty, realistic, and deeply human. That's the future I'm building toward.
What I'm Building
Rockets are too costly to be our only way out. The real answer is building out there — mining and gathering resources in space to fund the next step, and using drones and autonomous systems to lead the way before humans follow. I'm working on tools and concepts that explore that future: orbital infrastructure, real-time space data integrations, and software that makes the cosmos more accessible.
What's Next
Honestly? I don't fully know — and that's part of the fun. This site will grow as my ability to explore and test grows. Launch trackers, deeper NASA integrations, AI tools, more data from the edge of the solar system. Come back and see what's new.
