About me

I’m an Aeronautical Engineer who found a way to mix aviation, design, and a little bit of chaos into a life I love. I’ve spent over a decade flying and building drones, leading projects in propulsion and avionics, and exploring how Uncrewed Systems can change the world.

When I’m not in a lab or deep in a project, you’ll probably find me spinning tracks, DIY'ing, or pursuing something motorsports- because every good engineer needs a few side quests.

Process

HOW I WORK

I work in the spaces between disciplines. Where engineering meets manufacturing, where prototypes meet operations, and where ambitious ideas meet real-world constraints.

01

DEFINE THE PROBLEM

Before building anything, I start with the mission, constraints, risks, interfaces, users, and what success actually needs to look like.

The goal is not just to solve a problem. It is to make sure I am solving the right one.

02

THINK IN SYSTEMS

THINK IN SYSTEMS

Aircraft, products, factories, and operations never succeed in isolation.

I connect engineering, manufacturing, testing, safety, people, data, and operations so decisions made in one area strengthen the whole system rather than create problems somewhere else.

03

BUILD. TEST. IMPROVE.

BUILD. TEST. IMPROVE.

Moving from assumptions to evidence through prototyping, testing, failure analysis, iteration, and refinement.

A solution is not finished because it works once. It should be reliable, manufacturable, scalable, and ready for the real world.
