What I Work On
Engineering projects, research, and astrophotography.
This site collects the projects I have worked on, the technical skills I am building, and the engineering, student life, and space content I share through Astroori.
Experimental Engineering
Wind tunnel hardware, robotic fish systems, fluid-structure interaction, and test-focused builds.
Astrophotography
Deep-sky imaging, lunar work, telescope setup, stacking, and image processing.
Astroori
A place for astrophotography, engineering updates, student life, and project breakdowns.
Featured Work

A quick look at the engineering projects, research work, and analysis tools that have shaped what I am learning.
Evren Technologies Internship
Prototyping components for an FDA Breakthrough-designated medical device.
Designing and optimizing ear-based bioelectronic devices at Evren Technologies, a clinical-stage medical device startup in Gainesville building the Phoenix — an FDA Breakthrough-designated wearable that treats PTSD through vagus nerve stimulation. I develop and refine injection mold designs for device components using 3D printing, and work with silicone and conductive materials to prototype, fabricate, and improve functional device performance.
Role
Engineering Intern
Impact
Translating design concepts into manufacturable medical device components, supporting modeling and manufacturing processes that improve product quality, consistency, and scalability.

Swamp Launch Rocket Design and CFD
Validated rocket drag predictions by testing CFD results against a physical wind tunnel model.
Run ANSYS Fluent simulations for the Swamp Launch IREC competition vehicle and build the rocket model in CAD. I also helped document the simulation process for different Mach ranges, including physics setup, boundary-layer values, drag calculations, and which equations to use for each case.
Role
Rocket CFD and CAD contributor
Impact
Helped connect the rocket CAD model, ANSYS simulation workflow, and wind tunnel test setup so the team could compare predicted drag with physical testing.

Design/Build/Fly Aircraft Work
Helped build and fly a carbon fiber VTOL aircraft from CAD to competition.
Helped manufacture Prototype 1 and the carbon fiber fuselage structure for Gator Design/Build/Fly. I also used XFLR5 to study the aerodynamics of Prototype 1, a standard aircraft layout with one nose wheel and two rear wheels.
Role
Airframe, manufacturing, and aero analysis contributor
Impact
Worked across both analysis and build work: checking aerodynamic behavior in XFLR5, helping fabricate aircraft structure, and connecting design choices to real manufacturing and flight constraints.
