LETO: Space Station Data Analytics
Developed Leto™, a full-stack spaceflight intelligence system using physics-based models and AI algorithms to monitor Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS). This breakthrough system reduces the labor required for critical life support monitoring while providing real-time performance metrics, prognostics, and anomaly detection.

ASTERIA: Aerospace & Defense LLM System
Developed Asteria, Leto's sister project, as a wearable AI assistant for deep space missions and submarine deployments where Earth-based support is impossible. This miniaturized LLM system operates within severe SWAP constraints while providing instant access to critical manuals and procedures for crew safety in isolated environments.

"Jesse was an invaluable asset when designing and developing both Leto, the AI and analytics ecosystem for the life support systems on the International Space Station, and Asteria, the in-suit AI-copilot for the next generation spacesuit. Whether it was software and hardware integration and optimization, machine and reinforcement learning, or agentic generative AI, Jesse was always and consistently one of the strongest voices in the room. If I had to recommend anyone for digital transformation or mission-critical AI design and development, Jesse will always be my first recommendation."
HODOS: Spacesuit AR System
Developed head-up displays (HUDs) with interactive navigation software, Astronaut Smart Glove, and Natural Language Interface for NextEMU spacesuits. Field-tested at Haughton-Mars Project Research Station in Arctic conditions, supporting navigation, sample collection, and terrain surveillance for Artemis EVA operations.

AI Security Workshop
Created comprehensive adversarial attacks tutorial covering runway number detection for aviation safety. The interactive workshop demonstrates famous attacks (panda→gibbon, Tesla speed limit hack), implements FGSM algorithm, and teaches practical defense strategies using the Adversarial Robustness Toolbox with hands-on Jupyter notebooks.
