A 3D scanning and reverse engineering project focused on redesigning an offroad vehicle control arm in 4130 Chromoly Steel. The original four bar linkage was scanned, measured, and fully rebuilt from scratch in SolidWorks for significantly improved durability and strength.
View Project →Work in autonomous aerial systems and computational fluid dynamics.
Full redesign of a Cessna 182 instrumentation panel in 5052 H32 Aluminum. Modernized avionics layout, eliminated compass interference, integrated iPad-based Garmin Flight Instruments and JPI 730 engine monitor.
View Project →Autonomous aerial search and rescue system for locating avalanche burial victims using a 457kHz beacon transceiver. Built on PX4 X500 v2 with Pixhawk 6C and Raspberry Pi 4. Algorithm developed in MAVSDK-Python.
