ABOUT ME

I am an Aerospace Engineering student at UCF with experience applying engineering fundamentals to real-world systems through manufacturing and quality engineering internships at Conti Federal Services and Adjuvo Technologies. My work has required detailed interpretation of engineering drawings, configuration control, and technical documentation within complex, regulated environments.


I am particularly interested in Guidance, Navigation, and Control, propulsion, and R&D-focused roles where analytical modeling and system-level thinking are critical. I have experience using MATLAB for dynamic system analysis, SolidWorks for CAD and basic FEA, and applying thermodynamics and fluid mechanics principles to engineering problems. Through leadership experience and managing teams, I have developed the ability to translate engineering requirements into executable technical solutions while maintaining precision and accountability.
