Seeking Summer 2027 Engineering Internships
I redesigned and assembled a precision collimator prototype during an internship, then brought the same systems approach to propulsion CAD and UAV analysis.
I independently redesigned the mechanism in Fusion 360, integrated linear motion hardware, custom mounts, and 3D-printed structure, and assembled Prototype 1. Performance testing is not claimed.
About 300 hours of independent sizing, CAD, and mechanical integration. The 1,000 N thrust figure is a target; the preliminary shaft-power match is calculated, not measured.
As a Mechanical Engineering Intern at Imaging Engineering, I independently redesigned a precision collimator mechanism in Fusion 360 and assembled Prototype 1.
Integrated linear actuators and guides with custom mounts and 3D-printed structural parts.
Designed metric fastener, clearance, and tapped interfaces; refined component placement during assembly.
Completed the first physical assembly. Measured performance and production validation are not claimed.
Building depth across aerospace and mechanical systems.
Mechanical Engineering Intern at Imaging Engineering • Developing independent turbojet and UAV projects • Seeking Summer 2027 aerospace and mechanical engineering opportunities.
I’m pursuing dual bachelor’s degrees in aerospace and mechanical engineering at the University of Florida, with expected graduation in December 2027. My long-term interests include rockets, satellites, spacecraft, and the mechanical systems that make them work.
