What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining UAV inspection, AI-driven defect detection, and aerospace CAD design where I can build deployable systems and grow technical leadership.

I am an aeronautical and astronautical engineer with hands-on experience in UAV-based inspection systems and aerospace CAD design. I designed and implemented an AI-powered corrosion detection workflow using UAVs, developed CNN-based image-defect models with TensorFlow and OpenCV, and contributed detailed 3D concept and CAD models for next-generation aircraft using AutoCAD and Fusion 360.

I have delivered measurable efficiency gains—improving modeling workflow efficiency by 90%—and have experience across data annotation, assembly design, mechanical drafting, and autonomous inspection systems. I collaborate cross-functionally, focus on practical, deployable solutions, and bring strong communication and organizational skills to engineering teams.
