Data Scientist & AI Engineer

My name is Gary and the website you see along with the relevant projects are built with the sole purpose for me to join Rocket Lab. Humans only learnt to fly barely a lifetime ago. Since then, we have looked to the stars, and gone from flying in the atmosphere to landing on the Moon in less than a lifetime. I have long been interested in space and science fiction, and in a way what Rocket Lab is doing is pushing science fiction to reality, in terms of both developing space systems and orbital launch capabilities. I hope to be a part of that future if given a chance. I also believe in doing and not just words. This page contains introductions and links to two projects that have been deployed. The first project is a rocket trajectory simulator that i built with electrons specifications, and the second was built after a discussion with Otso from Rocket Lab about applying AI to space systems. I trained a vision transformer model on the DAGM dataset to achieve ~80% accuracy on surface defect detection. With my background in both physics and AI, as well as implementing these projects, I hope to have demonstrated my capability and be given a chance to help contribute to Rocket Lab and its mission. To go to space to make life better on Earth.
High-fidelity orbital trajectory simulation for Rocket Lab's Electron vehicle. Demonstrates actual flight dynamics from launch to orbit insertion using real specifications.
Advanced Vision Transformer model for real-time defect detection in aerospace materials. Critical for ensuring structural integrity and quality control in space systems manufacturing.
