Propulsion hardware, autonomous aircraft, signal chains, and software. Things I've designed, built, and debugged.

01
PROPULSION · TEST HARDWARE · ACTIVE

HTP / Jet-A Bipropellant Test Stand

A full test stand for a high-test-peroxide / Jet-A bipropellant rocket engine, built for accurate, repeatable thrust and combustion data.

  • Structural analysis of stand plates and a floating engine-mount plate isolating axial thrust for clean load-cell readings
  • Instrumentation design: pressure transducers, thermocouples, and pancake load cells with injector pressure taps and chamber sensor placement
  • Standoff-tube thermal analysis and dissimilar-metal weld design (ER309L for 316 SS to carbon steel)
  • Components sourced from McMaster-Carr, Swagelok, and Omega

AEROSPACE · UAV · IN PROGRESS

Long-Range Reconnaissance Fixed-Wing UAV

A fixed-wing RC platform designed for endurance and range, with the power system as the central engineering problem.

  • Battery architecture trade study weighing LiPo energy density against Li-Ion cycle life and range
  • Charging workflow built around the Aorika L6X2 charger
  • Airframe and avionics integration for a recon-focused mission profile

INSTRUMENTATION · ANALOG

Pancake Load Cell Signal Chain

A noise-immune analog front end for thrust measurement, converting a load-cell voltage into a current loop for reliable transmission to a DAQ.

  • Voltage-to-current converter feeding an industrial 4-20 mA current loop
  • Designed for immunity to noise and voltage drop over long cable runs
  • Integrated into the broader test-stand data acquisition system

SOFTWARE · GAME

Lexadex — Roguelike Language Learning

A language-learning game that borrows roguelike structure: run-based progression, randomized encounters, and incremental mastery.

  • Built in React / Expo for cross-platform deployment
  • Vocabulary acquisition reframed as a progression loop
  • Sustained development workflow using Claude Code

FABRICATION · MAKER

Shop & Fabrication Projects

Ongoing hands-on builds spanning wood, plastic, and electronics.

  • Custom L-shaped desk built from scratch using drawer cabinets as structural leg supports
  • Engineering prototype printing on a Bambu Lab P2S with a growing hotend collection
  • Custom SolidWorks drawing template (LRL) scaled for parts from 2 in to 6 ft
