I am a final-year aerospace engineering student at RMIT, aiming at guided weapons and flight systems research and development.
What I actually enjoy is the join between analysis and hardware — the point where a calculation has to survive being built. That is why MasterGA tunes its gains with the elevator held to its real ±25° limit rather than assuming it away, and why the UAV's centre of gravity is solved in a script rather than trimmed with lead after the first flight.
I have run a small CAD, laser cutting and 3D printing business since 2023, taking jobs from client brief through to delivered part, which is where I learned that tolerances are a commitment rather than a suggestion. I have also worked continuously as a labourer since 2019, through full-time study.
I am an Australian citizen and eligible for an NV1 security clearance.
