Personal Projects
VTOL Aircraft for Medical Logistics
January 2026 - Present
Designing and developing a tri-motor tilt-rotor VTOL aircraft for autonomous medical logistics, integrating aerodynamic analysis, structural FEA, flight control systems, and additive manufacturing. The project encompasses complete aircraft development from mission requirements and CAD design through simulation, fabrication, integration, and flight testing.
Rocket Launch Platform & Support System
March 2026 - May 2026 (Currently Paused)
Designed and tested a rocket launch platform featuring a launch tower, flame trench, water drenching system, automated retention mechanism, and ESP32-based control architecture. This project combined CAD modeling, embedded controls, and servo-actuated mechanisms to automate key launch operations including vehicle retention, tower retraction, water suppression, and launch sequencing. Structural and mechanical components were designed from the ground up, manufactured through 3D printing, and validated through functional testing.
AMSAT CubeSat AIT
March 2026 - May 2026
An amateur CubeSat project focused on spacecraft integration, subsystem verification, and hardware testing. Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, the project combined structural, electrical, communications, and command & data handling subsystems into a functional satellite platform.
Algorithmic Prediction Market Trader
February 2026 - March 2026
Developed an automated trading system for Kalshi prediction markets capable of monitoring market conditions, evaluating trading opportunities, and executing predefined trading strategies based on real-time data.
Research Projects
IDEAS Showcase Research Competition
August 2024 – May 2025
Developed and tested origami-inspired foldable structures for the IDEAS Showcase Research Competition, a UCF Engineering Department research competition tied to the Statics curriculum, combining CAD modeling, FEA simulation, physical load testing, and comparative structural analysis to evaluate compressive strength, deformation behavior, and performance against traditional support geometries.
Club Projects
AIAA Aviation Vehicle Design Competition
August 2024 – May 2025
Designed, built, and tested a fixed-wing competition aircraft as part of UCF's AIAA Design-Build-Fly team. The project required balancing aerodynamic performance, structural integrity, manufacturability, and competition requirements while coordinating work across multiple engineering disciplines.
Knights Experimental Rocketry IREC
August 2023 – January 2025
Contributed to the design, analysis, and testing of a student-built hybrid rocket as part of UCF's Knights Experimental Rocketry team. This project focused on developing a competition high-altitude launch vehicle through iterative design, subsystem testing, and verification activities across propulsion and aerostructures teams.
