I'm a passionate engineer pursuing a career in the junction of Aerospace, Electrical, and Computer Science who's majored in Computer Science and Engineering at UC Irvine. I have experience designing, testing, and operating avionics systems in launch vehicles for companies such as SpaceX, Relativity, and Blue Origin. I am always working on several personal projects⮐ , completed electric aircraft research⮐ with the Fulton Research Initiative (at Arizona State Univ), interned⮐ at the Open Network foundation and Relativity Space, and was the chief engineer of UCI Rocket Project⮐.
I'm a quadcopter⮐ / fixed wing pilot, a rocket enthusiast (hoping to get a level 1 certification soon), and someone who enjoys working on / developing custom autonomous vehicles⮐. I'm a proud Eagle Scout who's built several book sharing boxes⮐ around my neighborhood and have recently picked up the hobby of scifi reading. My favorite book at the moment is the Martian by Andy Weir.
At the moment, I am currently open for work.
September 2024 - February 2025
I was hired at a busy time for Blue. A couple days into my hiring, Glenn Stage 2 (GS2) was attempting to be hot fired. I was fortunate to see New Glenn go through the its critical integration and testing pre-launch. I contributed to console panel & procedure development / automation while being on console for integration (checkouts and stage mate) and sat console as an INCO (instrumentation and control), in charge of all the data aquisition, network, telemetry/radios, and sensors. Here are my achievements shortened...
July 2023 - September 2024
I was hired at SpaceX right out of college and had a chance to witness the huge differences between collegiate rocketry and the leader of the private industry. As a test engineer, I designed test systems, increased accuracy of existing test systems, supported boxes through qual and acceptance testing (QTP/ATP), and contributed to the many changes required for Dragon to be capable of the mission criteria of Polaris Dawn (1st SpaceX spacewalk). Here are all my achievements shortened...
June 2022 - June 2023
I'm incredibly proud of the team I was chief engineer to. The result of countless hours and sleepless nights resulted in UC Irvine's first methalox rocket launch. More details in UCI Rocket Project tab. Below are my accomplishments:
June 2022 - August 2022
Relativity space was my first professional experience in the private space industry. I helped develop avionics control boxes for test stands for Aeon 1 & R testing and had the chance to witness weekly hot fires of Aeon 1 + full duration mission cycle of Terran 1. Below are my accomplishments summarized...
June 2021 - June 2022
I joined the UCI rocket project to enhance their Avionics system while also learning enough about propulsion to serve as the bridge between our team and the rest of the project. As part of this role I developed...
August 2020 - March 2021
Developed an IoT project to demonstrate the power of Aether's 5G edge compute. The project was a fun modification on a developmental iRobot which was meant to showcase increased traffic through the newly developed Aether 5G network. Below are my accomplishments summarized...
October 2019 - December 2020
This project is prompted by the lack of knowledge on fixed wing electric aircraft performance. Research is conducted via the development of instruments onboard a miniature electric aircraft platform. Instruments equipped measure thrust, angle of attack, orientation, altitude, airspeed, battery current/voltage, motor RPM/torque, and internal temperature. The functional suite of sensors onboard the aircraft logs performance characteristics onto a custom flight controller for post-flight analysis. As a result, electric aircrafts can be effectively tuned in throttling power which could be used to maximize an aircraft’s range or other aircraft performance features. More info here⮐
I could either watch it happen or be a part of it.
Once you stop learning, you start dying.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 was that won't work.
Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!
