I design, analyze, build, and test systems across rockets, aircraft, experimental fluids, and technical computing.
Selected engineering work
06 CASE FILESFocused project summaries show the system, the tools, and the engineering contribution without making a recruiter dig for the useful details.
PROP-01Swamp Launch · CAD / ANSYS Fluent / wind tunnel
Connected a competition rocket CAD model, simulation workflow, and physical wind-tunnel testing to compare predicted and measured drag.
AERO-02Airframe / manufacturing / aero analysis
Manufactured carbon-fiber aircraft structures and used XFLR5 to connect aerodynamic decisions with real build and flight constraints.
FLUID-03FAST Lab · experimental fluids / instrumentation
Supported water-tunnel experiments, hydrofoil load-cell drag measurement, and test-hardware design for fluid-structure research.
TEST-04Designer and builder
Built a compact test platform for lift experiments and flow visualization using aerodynamic literature and rapid prototyping.
DATA-05MATLAB / machine learning
Created a custom machine-learning classification workflow for aircraft engines and evaluated it to an 86.16% training confusion-matrix accuracy.
SIM-06Solo build · real-time CFD in the browser
Built an interactive lattice-Boltzmann wind tunnel that runs live in the browser: airfoils, lift and drag coefficients, and four flow-field views.
Interactive hardware
A 3U CubeSat radiometer mission, rendered from NASA's engineering model. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom — the same way I review CAD before anything gets built.
Solar arrays
Body-mounted and deployable panels power the bus in orbit.
Radiometer aperture
Microwave radiometer sounding atmospheric temperature and humidity.
3U bus structure
Standard 10×10×34 cm CubeSat frame — launch-vehicle ready.
