In-flight testing of QBiT transition
Avionics stack assembly
Avionics and Controls Subteam, Reserve Pilot
Vertical Flight Design (VFD) is a student-led organization at Texas A&M University dedicated to designing and building high-performance drones for competitive flight. The team focuses on developing and testing advanced drone configurations optimized for both speed and endurance, resulting in highly capable aircraft that meet and exceed competition standards.
The Avionics and Controls Subteam is responsible for designing, sourcing, and assembling the complete avionics stack—including the flight computer and communication systems. In addition, the subteam selects and integrates high-efficiency motors and propellers to ensure peak performance across all flight scenarios.
Skills: Component Analysis, Propulsion Analysis, Soldering, Integration and Testing

Project Manager
The Build-A-Rocket (BAR) project team was a student-led group under the student-led Texas A&M University organization Aggie Coding Club (ACC). The project team consisted of members in groups of 2-4 working on designing, assembling, and testing an avionics assembly for a pre-built model rocket
The avionics assembly consisted of a gyroscope, temperature sensor, and altimeter. The components were controlled and data processed using an ESP32 microcontroller and transmitted through an RF antenna to a ground station receiver. This data was then received and a live graphical representation of the data stream was displayed in a custom-built GUI.
Skills: RF Rx/Tx, Sensor Analysis, Soldering, PCB Design, Integration and Testing

Editing Pipeline
Cover of Spring 2024 Edition
Editor-In-Chief, SOP Lead
Aletheia is a student-led organization and academic journal at Texas A&M University dedicated to promoting philosophical and ethical discourse within both the university and the broader academic community.
To streamline the editorial process for journal submissions, a comprehensive editing pipeline was designed and a formal set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) was established. The review structure emphasizes multiple rounds of evaluation by both general members and senior editorial leadership, ensuring a diverse range of feedback and enabling effective knowledge transfer and continuity between editorial teams.
Skills: Editing, Professional Writing, Communication, Organization, Graphic Design

R-Candy Chamber Test
R-Candy Chamber Aftermath
Propulsion and Avionics Systems Lead
This was a personal project that was developed and tested with some friends who were also interested in Aerospace Engineering. The team focused on the design development of small-scale rocket motors with an emphasis on iterative testing and rudimentary performance evaluation. To facilitate this, basic telemetry systems (temperature sensor, weight scale) were cumulatively added on to acquire more data about the motor's performance
