What I’m working on

  • Leading mechanical system design for an autonomous, solar-powered aerial platform.
  • Designing and modelling structural components and system layout using SolidWorks.
  • Performing component sizing, feasibility analysis, and mass distribution planning to support autonomous flight.
  • Coordinating closely with electrical and controls teams to ensure full system integration.
  • Managing design reviews, prototyping iterations, and implementation planning to meet performance constraints.
