Experience
- My experience as a Mathematics & Physics Tutor at College of the Canyons MESA.
- My experience as the Project Manager of the RockSat 2026 mission.
- College of the Canyons APC Vice Presdient 2024 - 2025 My experience with being the APC Vice President for the 2024 - 2025 school year.
- My experience as the Software Lead of the RockSatX 2025 mission.
- College of the Canyons APC Presdient 2023 - 2024 My experience with being the APC President for the 2023 - 2024 school year.
- RockOn! 2024 My experience as a team member of the RockOn! 2024 workshop series.
- RockSatX 2024 Team Member My experience as a team member of the RockSatX 2024 mission.
- RockSatX 2023 My experience with the RockSatX 2023 mission.
Provisioned the development of three successful engineering missions: NASA RSX, NASA HASP, and NASA RockOn! In addition, organized a Club discord server complete with organized chats, voice calls, and a team management system that encourages collaboration, class support, and project development
Assisted the President in overseeing and mentoring several new members, including high school and college students, who would become core club members and leads.
Supported 10+ students in conceptualizing both elementary and abstract mathematics and physics. As part of this effort, made STEM a much more accessible and understandable field. Brought passion of the field to many students and provided encouragement.
Many students have reported better intuition for their classes and an enhanced inspiration to succeed. Nearly every student has returned for additional help throughout the semesters and feels comfortable diving deeper into the subjects they study.
RockOn! was an opportunity through the Astronomy & Physics Club that allowed me and two other members to build a payload from scratch.
Our team learned how to solder, program, and test our payload. In the end, our payload launched on a rocket, and once we received it, we received accurate data. The data described the following conditions: radiation concentration, temperature, pressure, position, and vibration.
To conclude, our team put together a cohesive and optional final report that allowed us to analyze our data and reflect on our experience.
Additionally, throughout our trip, I captured the beautiful scenery of Chincoteague Island, Virginia.
My first major project for the Astronomy & Physics Club @ College of the Canyons. This project propelled my interest in the overlap of Aerospace Engineering and Web Development.
If this project taught me anything, it’s that failure is the best teacher. This project taught me how NOT to design a web-based application and involved many design flaws and inefficiencies. After two weeks of development, I encountered failures that would take over a week to identify and fix. All the skills used in this project were learned through the power of failure and getting my hands dirty in software.
Since then, I have taken more steps to better prepare for my following dashboard projects such as mock-ups, modular designs, and the use of a repository.
In late 2023 I came back to this project to begin my journey using Git and GitHub.
This is a project that combines my passions for graphic design, front-end development, and aerospace studies and engineering.
I worked collaboratively with a team to build a deployment-ready payload capable of deploying three capsules. Bonus criteria include the collection of sulfur dioxide and magnetosphere data. My portion of the project involves the development of an original web-based program that efficiently and clearly displays the data our team collects on the mission.
All preparatory steps taken in this project are to better the design process compared to 2023’s dashboard. The web-based dashboard follows the mockup as much as possible.
This is my third consecutive year working on the RockSatX project for the Astronomy & Physics Club @ College of the Canyons.
The plan is to use LiDAR technologies to scan surfaces and potentially deploy a self-orientating using a gyroscopic stabilizer.
My roles in this project include:
-
Software Lead: I am leading a team in developing efficient and deployable software for our mission.
-
Lead Designer: I have taken charge of giving the project a professional and appealing look. Specifically, I have chosen the colors, created the logo, and created preliminary graphic designs for our web-based components.
-
Web Developer: I am leading the software team in developing a web interface for testing.
The A.T.L.A.S. logo was made from scratch using Adobe Illustrator and is an original concept. The COC Aerospace & Science Team Logo is based on the original design and is fit to match our colors for RSX 2025.
