Aerospace CAD/CFD Engineer | CATIA V5 & ANSYS Fluent | VTOL/UAV Design & Simulation Specialist

Profile Summary

I am an aerospace engineer and technical consultant with over 10 years of experience in aircraft aerodynamic design, simulation, and system development for both manned and unmanned platforms. My core expertise lies in parametric CAD modeling (CATIA V5), CFD simulation (ANSYS Fluent), and VTOL/UAV conceptual design. I have led multiple aerospace projects including: - A 150-kg electric VTOL UAV (defense-focused) - A four-seater electric STOL aircraft - A closed-wing biplane electric aircraft - Custom mechanical systems for Bell 407 helicopters I offer freelance consulting services through my engineering firm, ARIDO Design, supporting remote clients in the U.S. and Latin America. I work under NDA when needed and deliver custom CAD/CFD packages. I hold two Master’s degrees (Flight Performance and Propulsion from TU Delft, and Structures from UANL), and a BSc in Aerospace Engineering from New Mexico State University. My current focus includes expanding into AI-driven aerodynamic workflows, generative geometry, and surrogate modeling for design optimization. Tools: CATIA V5, ANSYS Fluent, Python (basic), Excel Languages: English (Full Professional), Spanish (Native), German (Basic)
