I am a software-enabled structural analyst and designer with 7+ years of experience in structural analysis, finite element modelling (FEA), fatigue, and optimization of aerospace systems. I have held leadership roles in critical design for aircraft, rockets, and space systems, applying non-linear FEA, topology optimization, and 3D printing to solve thorny engineering problems. I am an advocate for innovation and mentoring, thriving in high-paced environments, and pursuing continuous improvements in structural performance and safety. I enjoy leading cross-disciplinary teams, breaking limits on performance, and delivering reliable solutions that meet stringent safety and mission requirements. My approach blends rigorous engineering with practical manufacturing considerations, enabling robust designs that are ready for production and operation at scale.
