TURNING ENGINEERING
IDEAS INTO HARDWARE.
Currently enrolled as an Aerospace Engineering major at Florida Institute of Technology working towards a B.S. with a concentration in Astronautics. Fascinated by rocket engines, precision manufacturing and hands-on hardware development from CAD through static fire and flight hardware.
Right Now
Current Focus
Currently, I am in Phase 2 of my Project Deoxys which is a bi-propellant rocket engine that I’m designing in collaboration with a team of six people. Following the completion of the machining process of all the eleven engine components in phase 1, our current activities include manufacturing review, assembly of the engine and construction of the test stand.

Featured Projects
Phantom 10K
The 2"experimental solid rocket motor effort to achieve 10,000 ft, achieving 9,701 ft on the flight; the highest altitude that the club has ever achieved, their first experimental (homemade) motor build, and their first homemade motor flight.
Open dossier →L1 & L2 Certification Rocket
One rocket, two certifications. I created one airframe that was capable of flying both my L1 and L2 high power rocket qualifications on the very same day - first an I motor for L1 and then a J motor for L2 immediately after taking the written test.
Open dossier →Moon Colony Logistics Modeling
An independent, award-winning, student-driven research study modeling the logistics of moving 100 million metric tons of infrastructure to the Moon, contrasting super-heavy rockets against a hypothetical space elevator through stochastic jump-diffusion.
Open dossier →Machining
One year experience in machining using manual mills and lathes as well as 2-axis CNC mills and lathes working on propulsion hardware, such as CNC machining nozzles and nose cone tips for Phantom 10K, and manual/CNC lathe machining of SABER, which is a bipropellant engine being developed by a senior design team.
Open dossier →Laser Cutting & Engraving
Hands-on work with fiber and CO2 lasers, starting from setting up engraving parameters on metal and wooden materials in the test grids through to creating completed engraved artwork.
Open dossier →Two Cuts
Two items were made from aluminum water jet cut pieces. The monogram was designed as the personal piece, while the second item was designed as a test piece for bulkhead fabrication, which would allow evaluating the feasibility of using water jet cutting for manufacturing fuel/oxidizer bulkhead in future.
Open dossier →Reaction-Role Discord Bot
A Discord bot for the Society of Math Students server that allows members to assign themselves to roles corresponding to their courses by reacting to a message.
Open dossier →DeltaUnits: NX Unit Converter
Lightweight Windows tool that will convert Siemens NX .prt files from millimeters to inches and vice versa within one click, packaging Siemens NX unit converter into a convenient GUI interface.
Open dossier →School Projects
Selection of some notable coursework projects from Florida Tech featuring a minimum length 2D rocket nozzle design through the Method of Characteristics and ball and beam controller design.
