About Me

Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted to build systems, explore the world, and solve problems others thought were beyond reach. I am a rebel at heart, an underdog who loves to compete and create technology that helps people.

✈︎ I am an Airworthiness Analyst and Aerospace Engineer focused on UAV systems, risk modeling, and airworthiness evaluation. My work lies at the intersection of technology, safety, and human-centered design.

⚙︎ I specialize in mechanical design and analysis, using CAD, FEM, and experimental validation to bridge concept and function. With an interest in addditive manufacturing as an aid to design and fastpaced development. I have contributed to projects from UAV mission planning and anti-icing research to aircraft component design.

✧ At Golden Section LLC, I develop airworthiness risk methods and mission planning integrations while driving system growth. I work with customers, engineers, and regulators to align technical work with organizational goals through documentation and stakeholder discussions.

⎔ I aim to design systems that are functional, compliant, and dependable. Every project I take on is guided by the goal of building technology that works beautifully and earns its place in the real world.
