Everything I've built.
Each entry has its own page with the full engineering detail — the decisions, the numbers, and what broke along the way.
Design Engineer — AVROS Rocketry
Designing a safety-critical piston for the propellant pressurisation system of a reusable liquid rocket engine, including O-ring gland sizing to withstand 500–800 psi.
Read case study →Drone Engineer Trainee — HYPSTUMA
Diagnosed a complete electrical failure on a 450 mm quadcopter to reverse polarity through three sequential elimination checks, identifying burnt MOSFETs from absent reverse current protection.
Read case study →Aircraft Maintenance Trainee — Sarsan Aviation Academy
Hands-on disassembly and reassembly of APU, turbofan, hydraulic, fuel and landing gear systems on decommissioned aircraft, progressing to leading a 5-student team.

Project Lead — UKSEDS NRC / The Named One
Led a 10-member rocketry team through the full lifecycle to a live launch reaching 1,700 ft apogee with real-time telemetry, then authored the post-flight failure analysis.
Read case study →Aerodynamics & Mechanical Design — Sheffield EcoMotorsport
Two roles across a solar race team: carbon fibre bodywork and SEM04 design work, following six iterations of battery casing design validated by FEA under a 20 g load case.
Read case study →Fixed-Wing Test Aircraft — Independent Project
Scratch-built a 600 mm fixed-wing RC aircraft and diagnosed a repeated in-flight structural failure to an aft CG at 60% MAC, correcting to 22% and achieving three consecutive controlled takeoffs.
Read case study →Project Lead — Afiyah Prosthetics
Led a 4-person team to prototype a myoelectric below-elbow prosthetic arm at £72 per unit — 95% cheaper than commercial alternatives — in a 24-hour hackathon.
Read case study →ANVILS — UWB Bus Network
A UWB mesh network for Sheffield's bus system accurate to 17 cm — 17.5× better than current systems — modelled across 54 receiver nodes with a 2.3-year payback period.
Read case study →PCB Design — Formula Student Brief
Completed a Formula Student electrical recruitment brief in KiCad: a 3-stage analog signal-conditioning PCB, manually routed, passing ERC and DRC with no functional errors.
Read case study →Arduino Reaction Timer — Independent Project
A solo embedded C++ reaction-time system on 6 LEDs and 2 buttons, validated at 200–400 ms, where the key fix was eliminating CPU hammering that was destroying timing accuracy.
Read case study →Drone & Rocketry Competitions — Emirates Aviation University
Placed 1st in a team drone-building challenge tuning flight stability in BetaFlight, and 4th in a water rocket challenge balancing centre of mass against centre of pressure.
