01 About

A bit about me

I'm a final-year Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (Honours) student at UNSW Sydney, graduating in 2027. I'm deeply passionate about advancing space technology and engineering solutions across flight dynamics, aerostructures, and mechanical design systems.

My honours thesis focuses on low-Reynolds number wing planforms, combining 3D CFD simulations with additive manufacturing and wind tunnel testing to isolate and analyse aerodynamic performance.

I'm actively seeking hands-on industry opportunities to apply rigorous technical analysis, a rapid prototyping mindset, and proactive problem-solving to mission-critical aerospace challenges. I'm highly adaptable, collaborative, and structured to execute within fast-paced, high-performance engineering teams, and always open to connecting with industry mentors, engineering leads, and innovators pushing the boundaries of defence and space tech.

On the side, I founded SonicSites, a web agency focused on helping aerospace and aviation businesses build a proper digital presence. I also run Accelerate Tutoring, a business I started in 2021 and built the website for entirely from scratch.
