Who I follow on Linkedin
I follow as many space companies, associated universities, and associated technical professionals as I can. I want to constantly stay up to date with state of the art in the industry and figure out where I might have ideas to jump into new research endeavors. For example, my alma mater, The University of Central Florida and their Nanoscience Technology Center are constantly making great progress towards material development for the space industry. Continuing to follow them, I find new contacts to form collaborations with. I also follow the Space Generation Advisory Council and the International Astronautical Federation to keep up to speed with global events. One person in particular, Minoo Rathnasabapathy, has also been an inspiration in this regard and comes to mind first.

Not sure if my most successful via numbers but my most successful based on what it represents. I was asked to speak on this panel and a young leader in the space industry. This invitation showcased that I have made a name for myself based on my technical experience and that those many years of working as an intern and getting my PhD and the many sleepless nights paid off, that I’ve started to make an impact on the global space industry in a positive way, and that my hard work has paid off and others, such as those who participate in the IAF Launchpad Mentorship Programmed that I have help to develop, are gaining positive things from my pushing forward to find little ways to make this industry better and to grow. It all showcases that I have found my place in this world and doing what I am meant to be doing. It showcases that amidst the hard times that come my way, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Pineapple EMPIRE’s mission is to accelerate the world to the New Space Economy.
