\section{Engineering Experience}
\role{SkyRunners UAV, Stanford}{Manufacturing and Structures Lead}{Stanford, CA}{2025--present}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Lead manufacturing and structures work for a Stanford fixed-wing UAV team, translating airframe design intent into buildable, serviceable parts.
  \item Validated a cleaner wing production workflow using a 4-axis hot-wire foam cutter after manual rib-and-foam cutting introduced too much asymmetry.
  \item Rebuilt the CAD model parametrically so chord, span, rib spacing, fuselage cross-section, and tail geometry update from a shared parameter table.
\end{itemize}

\role{Fabrication Lab EG}{Founder and Lab Lead}{Lippstadt, Germany}{2022--2024}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Founded and ran a school makerspace with five Bambu Lab X1Cs plus personal FDM, SLA, and laser-cutting equipment.
  \item Mentored 12 students across grades 6--10 in 3D printing, CAD, laser cutting, PCB design, and web development.
  \item Built a tiered machine-training process and handed the lab off to trained student successors before graduation.
\end{itemize}

\role{European Space Agency (ESA)}{Intern}{Darmstadt, Germany}{Jul 2022}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Worked around mission operations for BepiColombo and LISA Pathfinder, with a focus on attitude control systems and redundancy logic.
  \item Completed backup satellite system analysis and contributed recommendations to attitude-control documentation.
\end{itemize}

\role{German Aerospace Center (DLR)}{Intern}{Cologne, Germany}{Apr--May 2022}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Worked in a hypersonic wind-tunnel environment and analyzed airfoil behavior at Mach 10 under supervised facility protocols.
  \item Documented scramjet inlet and flow-path efficiency work from facility data and technical briefings.
\end{itemize}

\role{EUMETSAT}{Intern}{Darmstadt, Germany}{Mar--Apr 2022}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Developed a space-systems education program covering satellite construction, rocketry, and orbital mechanics.
  \item Prepared, recorded, edited, and published a podcast interview with the Director General on low Earth orbit satellite operations.
\end{itemize}

\section{Selected Projects}
\project{L1 and L2 High-Power Rocketry}{Builder / Systems Lead}{}{2025--present}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Built and bench-checked an L1 certification rocket; certification flight pending an insured NAR launch window.
  \item Started L2 vehicle build with fiberglass airframe planning, dual-deployment recovery, redundant altimeters, and independent battery/arming systems.
\end{itemize}

\project{Stratosphere Balloon Payload}{Co-lead Engineer}{}{2022}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Built a 4-student science payload flown to approximately 30 km with a Raspberry Pi 2B, GoPro, Pi camera, GPS tracking, and sensor logging.
  \item Recovered full altitude, pressure, interior/exterior temperature, magnetic-field, and acceleration data from the complete flight profile.
\end{itemize}

\project{Rocket Thrust Vector Control}{Mechanical and Embedded Integrator}{}{2026--present}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Built an ESP32-based TVC prototype for small rocket stabilization experiments, prioritizing hardware-in-loop validation before propulsion integration.
  \item Prototyped a compliant gimbal, characterized backlash on a bench fixture, and reworked linkage geometry after measured backlash exceeded predictions.
\end{itemize}

\project{ESP32 Smart Light Switch}{Designer and Builder}{}{2026}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Built a self-contained servo retrofit for a wall switch; ESP32 hosts its own WiFi access point and local scheduling UI.
  \item Implemented FreeRTOS servo/web-server tasks and NVS-backed scheduling; web UI loads in under 200 ms on the local network.
\end{itemize}

\project{Pulse Jet Test Rig}{Lead Builder and Test Engineer}{}{2025--present}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Designed a modular valveless pulse-jet fixture around repeatable geometry changes, fixed ignition routing, and defined instrumentation reference points.
  \item Completed initial chamber fabrication and support fixture; hot-fire testing remains gated on safety protocol and instrumentation review.
\end{itemize}

\project{Additive Manufacturing Competition}{Individual Competitor}{}{2023}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Competed solo against company-sponsored teams across SLA, SLS, SLM, and FDM challenge rounds.
  \item Won most challenge rounds by adapting geometry and tolerance strategy to each additive process and functional part requirement.
\end{itemize}
