Building things that fly, orbit, burn, and learn.
M.Sc. Aerospace Engineering graduate of the University of Stuttgart. My work spans air- and spacecraft structures, rocket propulsion, computer science, data science and machine learning, and a decade of hands-on builds. This site walks through the actual process of designing, simulating, building, testing and optimizing to realize various projects.
Aerospace by training, hands-on by habit
I recently completed my M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Stuttgart, finishing with a thesis at Airbus Defence and Space. Before that: two years as a working student and development engineer at Diehl Defence on solid rocket motors and jet-engine CFD, and a semester at EPFL working on cubesat structures.
Outside of coursework and work, I build things end to end — from a computer-vision aircraft tracker running on two phone cameras, to RC aircraft and a from-scratch VTOL UAV, to a 3D-printed CNC machine I redesigned to hold real tolerance. I like the part of engineering where a plan meets a workshop and turns out to be wrong in an interesting way.
