Where Curiosity
Builds Machines.

I'm a high school senior fascinated by mechanical engineering, machines, and how things work. I spend my time building hands-on projects, helping people who are as fascinated by engineering as me, and making contributions to my community.

About

A 12th-grade student building toward a career in mechanical engineering.

I learn best by building: sketching an idea, modeling it, and finding out where it fails. Right now I'm splitting my time between school, personal projects and volunteering.

Mechanical Focus

Mechanics, thermodynamics and machine design: the questions I keep coming back to.

Hands-On Builds

Model rockets, CAD assemblies and small robotics builds, tested and iterated.

College Prep

Physics and math coursework, and preparation for mechanical engineering programs.

Projects

What I have done

Biljet Rocketry Team (2023-2025)

Designed more than 20 model rockets using CAD programs such as SolidWorks to test fin geometry against predicted apogee. Built the airframe, tested out different materials, ran OpenRocket simulations, and logged flight data across multiple launches.

RocketrySimulationCAD
  • Head of Design of the team: designed the airframe, avionics modules, fin planforms using CAD such as SolidWorks/Fusion 360; ran the computer simulations, refined drag coefficients and calculated apogee predictions.
  • Prototyped airframes in PLA, plywood and fiberglass-reinforced tubes to compare mass, stiffness and drag quantity.
  • Trained 5+ new team members, teaching CAD design, rocket flight simulation and assembly.

Bilfen Engineering Club

Founding member in a club aiming to gather people with analytical thinking skills and desire to create things. Designed different unmanned ground vehicles, collaborating with a private company in the defense industry.

CADDesignFusion 360
  • Designed multi-purpose vehicles with tank tracks that encapsulate electronic equipment, consisting of Raspberry Pi and multiple sensors.
