About Me

I am an OSU Junior pursuing an Aerospace Engineering Batchelors degree, with the intention to attain a Masters Degree in the same field afterwards. I am an FAA certified Aircraft Maintenance Technician with both Airframe and Powerplant ratings.

I am highly motivated and looking for opportunities to challenge myself. I have been involved in BSLI in ever increasing responsible positions from doing basic electrical wiring all the way to advanced avionics computer design. Currently I am nominated to be IREC 2026-2027 Avionics Lead.

I have vast experience in multiple fields. I have 5 years of experience using CAD and Additive Manufacturing (FDM) to create various drones and projects. Recently I have started working on Avionics flight computer hardware that is designed, programmed and tested by myself.

Currently I am working on a UAV called Positive Eigen. This drone consists of advanced camera navigation system that uses machine learning in order to recognize different terrain features for navigation. Additionally it uses the kalman filter sensor fusion algorythm in order to fuse acceleration and gyration for dead reckoning. Lastly it uses thrust vectoring in order to control the attitude of the aircraft. This has by far been my most difficult project yet, but my persistance will allow me to perfect these ssytems and aquire invaluable experience in the process.
