DWG NO. 000 — PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
Mechanical Engineer — Composites, Flight Systems & Embedded Electronics
I design and build things that need to survive a load case, a crash landing, or a competition deadline — carbon fiber and fiberglass structures, small-scale VTOL systems, and the occasional RC plane with a wing nobody's tried yet.
SELECTED WORK
Competed as part of a team-built lift/VTOL platform in the DARPA LIFT Challenge, placing 15th out of 76 teams that checked in for competition. [Add 2–3 sentences on your specific role — structures, propulsion, controls, testing — and a key design or fabrication decision you owned.]
Currently designing and building an RC plane around a non-standard wing configuration, targeted for the next FliteFest after missing this year's event. [Describe the wing concept — what makes it novel, what problem it's solving, and what you're testing for: lift/drag, stability, manufacturability.]
[Name / describe the project — e.g., a structural panel, drone frame, or bracket laid up in carbon fiber.] Covers layup schedule, mold prep, and cure process.
[Name / describe the project.] Covers material selection versus carbon fiber, cost/weight tradeoffs, and finishing.
[Describe the build — what it sensed/controlled/automated, what hardware and libraries you used, and what you'd improve next.]
[Describe a second small-scale embedded project — keep it short and specific.]
