Projects & Organizations

Knights Experimental Rocketry - Propulsion Director

Led propulsion work applying rocketry fundamentals, managing Odysseus propulsion assemblies, supporting static-fire testing, designing payload-frame concepts, and pursuing certification.

Knights Racing BAJA SAE

Contributed to Baja SAE vehicle design by creating suspension hardware, tabs, spacers, and maintenance stand concepts backed by FEA material and strength checks.

Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers

Supported SHPE through payload-frame design, research opportunity programming, professional development events, outreach coordination, and volunteer leadership.

Solid Propellant Motor Project

Developed solid propellant motor tests by casting fuel blends, building thrust-measurement stands, reading sensor data with C++, and evaluating mixture performance.

In the above video, I ignited the propellant. This was an early test — new tests are underway with the updated scale shown above.

Digital Advertising AI

Built a Python Tkinter tool using Google's Gemma AI model to interpret market trends and ad performance for clearer campaign decisions.

Electric Generator

Built an electromagnetic induction generator with 3D printed parts while working toward integration with an electric bicycle application.

Robotic Arm

Designed a remote-controlled robotic arm around an Arduino Uno R3 while planning Raspberry Pi controller upgrades for expanded capability.

Physics Calculator

Created a multi-purpose calculator that demonstrates physics and calculus processes through clearer equations, inputs, and outputs.

Data Visualization

Built a Python executable that turns Excel spreadsheet data into quick scatter-plot visual summaries.

C Programs

Created console-based C programs including a quadratic calculator, dominoes simulator, and business manager to practice procedural programming and data handling.

Discord AI Bot

Developed a Discord AI chat bot to help monitor servers, assist students with time-consuming tasks, and solve engineering problems through code-aware responses.
