Breaking the
Propulsion Plateau
For decades, chemical rocket propulsion has advanced incrementally. Traditional engines rely on constant-pressure combustion, which imposes fundamental efficiency limits. We are hitting the ceiling of what is possible with old physics.
I founded AlgoForge Aerospace to shatter that ceiling. By pursuing pressure-gain combustion through rotary detonation engines, we are unlocking the ability to extract significantly more energy from every gram of propellant.
“Our objective is not novelty. It’s efficiency, repeatability, and systems that scale into real launch operations.”
Engineering for
Control & Reliability
Detonation-based propulsion introduces extreme thermal and pressure environments that most materials cannot survive. Making it viable requires a disciplined, first-principles approach to system architecture.
My work focuses on the VORTEX-1 engine architecture—combining high-fidelity simulation, advanced materials engineering, and relentless test-driven iteration. We don't just want it to run; we want it to run reliably.
“Simplicity improves reliability. The goal is fewer failure modes, not more complexity.”

Core Directives
The fundamental truths that guide every engineering decision at AlgoForge.
Pressure-Gain Combustion
Rotary detonation enables higher thermodynamic efficiency by effectively increasing chamber pressure during the combustion process, rather than losing it.
Rapid Reusability
A vehicle architecture designed from day one for airline-like operations. Fast inspection, minimal refurbishment, and high launch cadence.
Accessible Orbit
Lowering the cost per kilogram unlocks scientific, commercial, and educational access to space. We are building the railroad to the stars.
