Hello everyone!

I'm Stephan. My background bridges the gap between creative arts and cutting-edge science, merging writing, photography, oil/acrylic painting, design, 3D game assets, philosophy, and AI development. Most of my skills are self-taught, driven by a natural curiosity to dive deeply into new subjects whenever an exciting challenge comes along.

While the space sector is a completely new frontier for me, I am very eager to learn from the team, adapt quickly, and contribute my design precision, technical curiosity, and creative problem-solving skills to our NASA Space Apps Challenge. Excited to build something incredible together!
