Featured Projects
Computer Aided Design (CAD) Portfolio
Built a portfolio of CAD models, drawings, renderings, and design studies across mechanical engineering coursework.
Autonomous Quadrotor Flight
Built and flew an X650 quadrotor indoors with motion-capture feedback, then validated autonomous trajectories through a ROS 2 / PX4 / Gazebo simulation workflow.
Aerodynamic Analysis and Optimization
Applied CFD, vortex-lattice analysis, and optimization methods to improve wing airframe performance.
Mini Mars Rover
Designed and built a microcontroller-driven Mars rover for a four-person mechatronics mission project with autonomous navigation and task execution.
Rocket Water Ballast System
Engineered a post-apogee water ballast ejection system for a high-altitude competition rocket payload.
