Amy Herriman
Biologist! Inspired, well-spoken, and a true friend. Jack (and master) of so many trades I can't begin to list or understand half of them.
Ava Ankenbrandt
BSEE from UCLA, now working on Starship avionics for SpaceX. The person you want around if you're a fan of 3AM projects and techno-optimist western animation shows (go watch Pantheon). Skilled engineer and all-around one of my favorite people ε>
Cait Nguyen
UCLA Electrical Engineering '26, one of the kindest people I know and an extremely competent engineer. They also have one of the most insane resumes of all my friends, including running multiple hackathons, myriad personal projects, and analyzing fiber optic transcievers.
Hayden Yearout
CU Boulder aerospace, SRL leadership, an exceptionally kind and competent engineer. A true ally in life in every sense of the word.
Jenna Kay Foertsch
NASA Houston and one of my closest friends for years. Amazingly competent and exceptionally driven. One of very few people who says "ride or die" and truly, completely means it.
Joe Barnard
Universally preceded by his reputation. The best aerospace engineer that was ever a wedding photographer. Running a one-man space program over at BPS.space.
Julie Cover
BSCS UCLA, now with Microsoft! Genuinely brilliant ML/web dev (and somehow dealt with me since high school). Builder of robots, trainer of models, and the person who made my FRC years just that little bit better.
Nelson Fesas
Wizard-level meche & weapons specialist, the guy you call if shit gets real. Has literally saved my life twice. Might be the Stig.
Ricky Herriman
Optical engineer with Raytheon, and yet another truly brilliant person I'm glad to be friends with. Incredibly skilled engineer and avid maker. Also a kickass D&D DM.
Winnie Regan
CU Boulder aerospace engineering '25, and one of the most capable and amazing people in my life. One of the best in the world at almost anything that runs on electricity or needs a control system. Also, she's about the best friend a girl could ask for ε>
