Senior Aerospace Systems Engineer | Launch Vehicles | Propulsion | GNC | Systems Engineering

Profile Summary

Senior Aerospace Systems Engineer with extensive experience in launch vehicles, spacecraft, rocket propulsion integration, Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC), systems engineering, multidisciplinary analysis, and aerospace software development.

My professional experience includes major aerospace programs at NASA (Artemis/Space Launch System), Boeing (CST-100 Starliner), Atmos Space Cargo, and the Space Engineering Research Center (SERC). Throughout my career, I have contributed to the development, integration, verification, and validation of complex aerospace systems across the complete engineering lifecycle.
My expertise includes launch vehicle systems, rocket propulsion analysis, mission analysis, trajectory design, systems engineering, mathematical modeling, MATLAB/Simulink, Python, and technical documentation. I have also developed engineering software for launch vehicle sizing, rocket nozzle design, propulsion analysis, and multidisciplinary aerospace optimization.
I enjoy helping clients solve challenging engineering problems through rigorous analysis, practical engineering solutions, and clear technical communication. Whether supporting conceptual studies, engineering design, simulation, software development, or technical consulting, I strive to deliver work that is technically sound, well documented, and tailored to each client's objectives.
