From my earliest solar-powered build to spacecraft simulation, aircraft stability, and prototype development. Featured projects are on the homepage; this archive keeps the full story together.
Six-state low-Earth-orbit model using RK4 integration with J2 perturbations, an extended Kalman filter to estimate debris states from synthetic noisy position measurements, and prototype proximity-triggered thrust logic.
Designed and iterated on a glider configuration using an SG6043 wing and NACA 0012 tail. Compared center-of-gravity placements and evaluated longitudinal static stability, predicting a 7.34° trim angle and a maximum lift-to-drag ratio of 14.8.
Independent computational comparison of candidate Martian habitat shielding materials, including polyethylene and concrete, using simplified attenuation models and plotted results.
Analyzed how rising heat, density altitude, airport elevation, and runway limitations can affect takeoff performance. Considered airports including Reno–Tahoe, El Paso, Burlington, LaGuardia, and Reagan National.
Developed an aerospace degree planning application with abstract classes and inheritance to organize engineering, mathematics, and elective courses, including search, editing, and status tracking.
Created a CSV-driven quiz tool that randomizes question order, checks responses, tracks correct answers, and summarizes results for students.
Built a data-processing script that validates ticket records, filters errors, categorizes transactions, computes percentages, and estimates total revenue from a structured ticket dataset.
Analyzed stream pH data to detect low-pH events, identify event start and end times, record minimum values, validate inputs, and visualize measured trends.
Helped design, build, deploy, and analyze a pH sensor prototype with an NRCC engineering team. Served as the requirements lead and supported modeling, data collection, and MATLAB analysis.
Implemented a two-dimensional projectile model without aerodynamic drag, with validated launch inputs, unit conversions, position/velocity calculations, and exported trajectory data.
Developed mission legal and regulatory concepts covering planetary protection, international cooperation, nuclear propulsion safety, and astronaut radiation considerations as part of VASTS.
Assembled a small solar-powered robot during Camp Invention, an early hands-on introduction to simple circuits, motors, and renewable energy.
