Experimental Rocket Design & Testing

Onshape CAD model

CAD to hardware

Led two design iterations involving technical research, component sourcing, CAD modeling, 3D printing, prototype assembly, and physical testing.

Iteration-driven development

The first build produced limited powered flight. I later led a revised second build using additional research, updated components, CAD-designed hardware, and another round of testing. The second iteration appeared more energetic and more controlled while still revealing system-level limitations.

01 ResearchCompared concepts, materials, geometry, and components.
02 DesignModeled custom geometry in Onshape.
03 BuildIntegrated fabricated and purchased components.
04 Test & IterateUsed test observations to guide redesign.

About

Mechanical engineering with a build-first mindset.

I’m interested in mechanical design, aerospace and defense, automotive and motorsport engineering, and product development.

I enjoy projects where CAD turns into real hardware and testing exposes what needs to change next.
