Developed amateur rockets that fly purely on active electronic guidance. Using custom-built flight computers, firmware, and thrust vectoring hardware I've achieved a record flight of 330 feet at 80 miles per hour.

Designed and built an analog synthesizer with a digital MIDI oscillator. Modeled each synthesizer component using the Falstad circuit simulator, then built the circuits on breadboards. This kit was intended to teach fellow students how to prototype circuits from schematics and diagrams.

Built the control algorithms and designed the actuators for canard-based roll control in a high power rocket. Collaborated in the project with a group of rocketry enthusiaists to demonstrate successful aerodynamic control.

Programmed a rigidbody simulator using C++ and Python to create flight simulations of actively controlled model rockets. The simulator estimates aerodynamic forces and control outputs to accurately predict subsonic rocket launches. Versions of this software were used to develop an aerodynamically controlled rocket as well as thrust vectoring rockets.

Designed and assembled printed circuit boards for rocket avionics. Most of my circuit boards were used for Thrust Vectoring Rockets, however one of my computers was used in the 2022 Spaceport America Cup to fly an O-Class rocket to 30,000 feet at Mach 2. Radio onboard transmitted GPS telemetry down to a ground station to successfully recover the rocket.

Built a Circuit-Python based lightsaber using commercially available circuit boards. Neopixel is the commonly used term for addressable RGB LED lightsaber blades. As a Star-Wars fan I've always wanted my own lightsaber, however high-quality lighsabers are incredibly expensive, so I decided to make my own prototype as a learning experience and as a fancy conversation starter.
