KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am an Aerospace Engineering student driven by innovation, advocacy, and community impact, with a strong academic record and hands-on experience in aviation maintenance and unmanned systems.
I have led quality and compliance efforts for the Luna Drone Project, developing QMS, SMS, and SOPs aligned with KCAA and ICAO regulations and mapping requirements across aviation and pharmaceutical transport standards.
