Aspiring Aerospace Engineer & Maker

The Story

It all started with a simple question: How does it fly?

From folding paper airplanes in the back of a classroom to designing wind tunnels and testing rover chassis, my journey has been driven by an insatiable curiosity about the physical world. I don't just want to build things; I want to understand the invisible forces that make them work.

The Lab

This website is a collection of that work. It's not just a portfolio; it's a documentation of failures, iterations, and the occasional breakthrough. Whether it's leading the Controls team for a Mars Rover or teaching students how to weld, I believe that engineering is fundamentally about solving problems for people.
