A Bit About Me
​I’m a 16-year-old aspiring aeronautics engineer with a passion for aircraft design, aerodynamics, and hands-on engineering. I learn best by experimenting, testing, and refining physical systems.
I work on the Hardware team for my school’s FTC Robotics program, where I design mechanical subsystems, lead wiring and electrical integration, and troubleshoot complex electromechanical issues. Our team has earned awards including the Inspire Award, Winning Alliance, and 1st Place Design Award.
Outside robotics, I focus on aviation-related engineering projects such as designing and building a functioning RC aircraft, developing a 3D-printed wind tunnel (in progress), and built a custom PC optimized for flight simulation and racing. I enjoy turning ideas into working prototypes and exploring how aircraft achieve stability, lift, and performance.
I’m seeking summer opportunities in aeronautics engineering — internships, research experiences, or design projects — where I can apply my engineering, CAD, and robotics experience while continuing to grow in aircraft systems and flight design.
