Aerospace Engineer | Electrical Engineering Minor
I am an aerospace engineer with a passion for pushing the boundary of what is possible with modern technology. I have been self-driven ever since I began my engineering journey in 5th grade. Over the past 9+ years I have been been working to learn as much as possible via my numerious personal engineering projects which span all disciplines.
