Under the mentorship of Mark Burgess, my friend Tom Carlone and I researched, designed, built and tested our own low speed wind tunnel as our senior mastery project in high school. |

As a freshman mechanical engineer at Johns Hopkins University, our first design project was to build a mouse-trap car that could maneuver through a slalom course. |

During my sophomore year at high school, for my civic virtue project, I adopted a portion of the bike trail to beautify and maintain it. This was a very gratifying project since it is a widely used trail and my family and I have and will remain active in the program. |

As a freshman mechanical engineer at Johns Hopkins University, our second design project was to design and draw a "useful" object in Pro/Engineer , a 3-D CAD program. Pictured to the left is the object I designed - 90 Degree Rotating Retractable Landing Gear for a Remote Controlled Airplane. Below is the file for download. |

In addition to regular remote controlled airplanes, I have some experience with autonomous UAV's. I have worked on the Dragon Slayer UAS, programmed flight plans and test flown it. This plane uses infrared sensors to detect the horizon and maintain the desired flight path. The Dragon Slayer utilizes the Paparazzi autopilot which is open source and available to anyone to use and edit. Check out the links below for more information. |
