Building and proving out
things that fly.

I coordinate hardware qualification testing on the AW609 tiltrotor program — scheduling across test units, facilities, and witnesses to get systems proven and certified. Outside of that, I'm building a UAV-focused aerospace startup.

What I'm working on

Hardware Qualification & Test Program Management

I manage the qualification test program for the AW609 tiltrotor, coordinating test scheduling across multiple test units, facilities, and witnesses to keep a complex, multi-party test campaign moving toward certification.

My background spans aerodynamics, propulsion, and systems test/integration — with hands-on work in CFD, wind tunnel testing, and vehicle design from my academic projects.

02 — New venture

A UAV-focused startup, in progress

Building

Taking what I've learned in flight test and applying it to unmanned systems.

I'm developing an early-stage aerospace startup focused on UAVs, drawing on my experience across design, aerodynamics, and test integration. More details — name, product, and launch timeline — are coming as the venture takes shape.
