Welcome to my website!

Please read this first!

I am an Aerospace Engineer (I graduated!) with a background in gas dynamics and propulsion, primarily through collegiate sounding rocketry. Although, don't get it wrong, I'm well versed much more, particularly R&D and test engineering. Everything that bringing an idea from a napkin drawing entails I have probably explored either professionally or in my own time, as you'll see throughout this site. I have participated in the International Rocket Engineering Competition for a couple of years, primarily overseeing the development of the hybrid rocket motor for each participating rocket. Pictured on the right is my favorite project, Pegasus.

My senior design project involved a Rotating Detonation Engine, designed with the intention of contributing to the global understanding of RDEs, as well as creating an air breathing small-scale platform ready to be integrated with a flight vehicle. More on this can be found here: PLACEHOLDER

My machining work experience encompasses 2, 3, and 4 axis CNC machining, as well as resin (DLP) additive manufacturing. From my time as a machinist I have developed an intuition for competent design with manufacturing and production in mind. In terms of AM, I spearheaded the integration of a Stratasys Origin One Photopolymerization Machine, including the creation of brand new procedures to maximize part repeatability, a critical part of the prototyping work I did for the UCF Machine Shop. I received training directly from Stratasys to maintain and repair the machine as well as the local printer network hardware.

Beyond the purely engineering experience stuff, I like to spend my free time browsing for obsolete tech on eBay, playing guitar and reading. I've been teaching myself electrical engineering, in part because I feel a Mech/Aero Engineer in 2025 should be somewhat competent in the computers that support everything we build, and in part because I'd like to know how to repair the stuff I buy on eBay. I like to collect physical music, mainly cassettes and MiniDisc. I love the 00s and 10s, hence this website's design.

Much more info on all of this can be found in my Projects and Hobbies sites, take a look!
