NASA Student Launch 2027 — USLI Launch Vehicle

Active · Vehicle Team Lead · LUNAR

Leading the launch-vehicle subteam through architecture, CAD, mechanical integration, work coordination, and the transition from conceptual design to manufacturing, assembly, test, and flight. The vehicle must integrate the autonomous SCANR payload while preserving access, retention, recovery, avionics, structural, and mass-property requirements.

Design workflowFull- and subscale OpenRocket and SolidWorks models

System targetRecoverable vehicle · 4,000–6,000 ft AGL

Program cadenceProposal through reviews, demonstration flights, and launch

Powered Upper-Body Exoskeleton

Active Development · ASME Design Specialist

Developing an adjustable upper-body system that assists a biceps-curl motion using one linear actuator per arm. The design balances mechanism geometry, multi-user fit, load paths, structural interfaces, positive locking, hard stops, and safety for a wearable powered assembly.

MechanismDual linear-actuator arm assistance

Human interfaceAdjustable shoulders and backplate geometry

Design prioritySafe motion, clear load paths, manufacturable parts

IREC Ancalagon Launch Vehicle

2025–2026 · Vehicle Design & Manufacturing

Contributed launch-vehicle mechanical design and manufacturing, including 6061 aluminum bulkheads and centering rings, mechanical/control components, boat-tail CAD and trade studies, and integration across the vehicle, payload, avionics bay, and through-wall fin structures.

Machining6061 aluminum parts to approximately ±0.01 in where applicable

Design validationPhysical/subscale models exposed CAD and packaging conflicts

Trade studiesBoat-tail geometry, drag, predicted apogee, and materials

Rocket Tracking Ground Station

LUNAR · Mechatronics · Telemetry

Engineered a leveling tripod and 360-degree rotational platform for real-time rocket telemetry, connecting the physical structure to servo motion and custom electronics mounting requirements.

Mechanical platformLeveling tripod with full rotational travel

IntegrationCustom PCB mounts and high-torque servos

System purposeGround-based pointing for rocket telemetry

Parametric Minimalist Wallet

Personal · Product Design · Additive Manufacturing

Designed a fully parametric SolidWorks wallet around printability, ergonomics, card retention, and daily use. More than five physical iterations were used to refine snap-fit tolerances and the interaction between geometry and FDM process behavior.

Iterations5+ printed prototypes

Design controlParametric geometry for fit and retention
