What I'm looking for

I seek roles designing and validating airborne or mechanical systems using CAD/CAE, with opportunities for team leadership, hands-on prototyping, and measurable performance impact.

I am a mechanical design engineer with hands-on experience leading UAV design programs and managing design teams to deliver high-profile projects on schedule and within budget.

I specialize in CAD/CAE tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA, ANSYS and AutoCAD, and routinely perform FEA and CFD to optimize structures for strength, weight and aerodynamic performance.

I have practical manufacturing and prototyping experience from internships, a track record of competition success (13th Rank SAE DDC 2024), and a commitment to reliable, manufacturable product design.
