Projects ▐

A few I've built with more information on request.

Loading

American Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics RC Competition.

Overview

We built a 6ft rc plane and glider from the ground up for the AIAA competion. It consisted of 3 main missions:

1- Flying laps under time pressure

2- Optimize Speed and Weight Capacity

Ability to carry extra payloads

3- Deploy an Autonomous Glider

The glider must land at a specific target

Bonus 4- Passing all inspection tests

The facts and figures.

Lets get into the nitty gritty...

Glider.

Momentary switch triggered on release.

GPS enabled, Ardupilot Autopilot, Sub 250 Grams

Wings.

Carbon fiber spars and balsa ribs provide strength and lightness.

Removable Payload

To simulate removable fuel tanks.

All Missions Accomplished

A lot of failing and learning along the way.

I'll keep the rest of the projects mentioned here brief, but please don't hesitate to reach out and ask. I love to talk about all my adventures.

Gut Health Monitor

Started a company that gave dietary feedback from the on toilet sensor.

From user feedback, we changed the form factor several times with the shown version being an early design.

I had to wear many hats on the project. From the computer to the pitch deck I did consumer outreach, pitching, science validation, full stack development, and ML.

Custom Shirts

In the effort to get my engineering firm off the ground, we created custom shirts to become cashflow positive.

While nothing technical, I learned what building a brand meant to people.

Pipline Integrity Device

Lead design iteration and testing of an MVP device to retrieve integrity monitoring equipment.

With my co-owner we got the device in the field with Chevron which led to securing $200k in seed funding.

Baby Monitor

Me and our team created a device that detected when a baby's diaper needed changing and would notify the parents. The IoT device strapped to the side of a crib.

While never making out of the protype phase it was my first crash course into combining disciplines from biology to web dev to hardware.

Power Supply Board

Used Eagle design software to create a power supply board for a PCB design class.

Brokered Aircraft Sales

Brokered for an old VTFF (Vertical Takeoff, Forward Flight) aircraft design to be sold to OEM aircraft manufacturers. Got the deal down the line as far as getting in front of the DoD Innovation Unit.

Had to prepare the old files and gather the designs in a cohesive story told to potential buyers. For more information visit:
