Crucible @ Frontier Space Lab

I'm Head of Technology at Frontier Space Lab, a deeptech startup building in-space refinery systems that turn lunar regolith into oxygen, propellant and structural metal.

Crucible

Crucible is an AI-native simulation IDE, about 25,000 lines of Python and TypeScript. It puts 11 physics solvers behind one shared API, so a model built against one solver can be swapped onto another without being rewritten. Every solver is validated against published reference solutions before we trust it with anything new.

Lunar-surface simulator

I lead the team building a lunar-surface simulator trained on real lunar data.

Along the way

  • Secured an NVIDIA Inception partnership and $100K of GPU access
  • Accepted into Y Combinator's Startup School (San Francisco) from 30,000 applicants
