Research & projects
Almost everything here is university work — lab research and competition entries, not delivered client engagements. It is grouped that way on purpose, because the distinction matters when you are deciding whether to hire someone. What it demonstrates is capability across disciplines; each entry links back to the practice area it proves.
Professional
Client and commercial engagements.
Nothing published here yet. My current professional work is in image sensor systems — characterisation, test infrastructure and the analysis tooling around production sensor programmes — and it is covered by confidentiality. Ask me about it directly and I can talk through what is shareable.
Lab research
Work done in a university setting — the Reconfigurable Space Computing Laboratory, the Cal Poly Pomona aerospace department, and a US Navy research programme.
Reconfigurable CubeSat Clusters
A compute and communications stack that turns a swarm of 1U CubeSats into a single elastic cluster, with FPGA payloads that change function in orbit and workloads that migrate between satellites in seconds.

Natural-Language Flight Control
A chat-to-fly interface for UAV operators: spoken or typed instructions translated directly into flight commands by a language model running on the aircraft, not in a datacentre.
Read →03Turbine-Powered VTOL Platform
A VTOL airframe driven by twin JetCat P60 micro-turbines instead of electric rotors: over 13 kg of combined thrust and fixed-wing cruise speeds, while keeping multirotor agility for vertical take-off.
Read →Competition
Entries built to a brief and judged against other teams. All four placed.
Air-and-Water Autonomous Vehicle
AQUAD: a single vehicle that flies to a site, submerges, manoeuvres underwater and returns to the air, on one charge. Built against a brief targeting ocean worlds such as Europa.

Wireless Power and Data Transfer
Paired resonant Tesla coils beaming power and low-frequency data across a gap with no conductor between them, and the electromagnetic compatibility engineering needed to keep nearby avionics alive.
Read →03
Autonomous Aerial Docking and Recharge
A heavy-lift carrier UAV acting as an airborne charging hub and data relay, letting micro-drones dock in flight to recharge, offload sensor data and borrow GPU cycles.

Morphing-Geometry Multirotor
A multirotor whose thruster pods pivot and slide on servo-driven rails, shifting from a wide-span cruise configuration to a compact footprint that fits through doorways and pipe racks.
