About Me
I'm an undergraduate Electrical & Aerospace Engineering student at Queensland University of Technology, based in Brisbane. Before engineering, I trained and worked as a motorcycle mechanic. That hands-on background in fault-finding, wiring, and tool work still shapes how I approach problems today.
My interests span UAVs, RF engineering, telecommunications, control systems, mathematics, physics, and AI. I'm always seeking to understand how things work and how they can be improved.
I fly both fixed-wing and FPV multirotor platforms, and a lot of my recent work has centred on improving RF link performance and reliability. I currently work on UAV systems and embedded technologies through an avionics engineering internship at Praxis Aerospace, and I lead UAS projects with the QUT Aerospace Society, including a fixed-wing platform for long-range observation and the society's new FPV drone racing program.
