Mission Analyst · PIAP Space

Mission Analyst at PIAP Space, plotting trajectories for RAVEN – the Polish in-space transportation vehicle built for ESA. Before that, I flew OPS-SAT from ESA's mission control in Darmstadt, sent a microbiology experiment to the edge of space on BEXUS 30, and led the SimLE science club through balloons and rockets. Board member of PSPA, glider pilot in training, and a hacker and maker at heart.

My work, studies, projects, talks and awards, together with the blog posts.
