I am an emerging propulsion engineer at Rice University with hands-on experience in rocket systems, FEA, CAD, failure investigation, and competitive robotics. In Rice Robotics, I led Battle-Bots weapon redesigns, established safe test protocols, and executed four to five prototype iterations to meet a 432 g limit while optimizing mass distribution and system reliability. I excel at rapid prototyping, test-driven iteration, cross-disciplinary collaboration, configuration management, and clear technical communication for defense and propulsion program work.
