Intern at Clovis, NM, during summer 2026, where I troubleshot flaws in the cheese production process. Solved problems within an engineering environment and designed systems for human-machine interactions.
Intern at Phoenix, AZ, during summer 2025, where I supported colostrum powder production and manufacturing plant expansion. Managed projects involving CAD, technical documentation, and Capital Expenditure.
Peer mentor and tutor for engineering students, focusing mainly on topics related to mechanical and aerospace engineering or mathematics. The TRIO programs offer services and support for students in need, where I helped fellow students for almost four years. I was also responsible for revitalizing and reorganizing the program's website and maintaining it thereafter.
My elective and required classes in my AE Degree include Orbital Mechanics, Aircraft Design, Propulsion, Flight Dynamics and Control, Robotics, and more.
Classes that involved working and developing ideas in a lab setting include Experimental Methods 1 and 2, Aerofluids Laboratory, Manufacturing Processes, and more.
I pursued minors in Mathematics and Physics due to curriculum similarities and curiosity about the fields. Classes taken to support these minors include Statistics, Energy and Society, Complex Variables, and Modern Physics.
As part of my Capstone project, I developed a communication satellite network proposal for competition on behalf of Lockheed Martin, built a prototype for a 3U CubeSat alongside its associated research and simulations, and produced and implemented accurate risk assessment in space mission design.
Member of the NMSU Nanosatellite Lab structures team. Designed the antenna release system for the neutron-detecting satellite using SolidWorks.
Developed a website hosted on a linux server to upload, preview, and download files from any browser. This was my first exercise in backend infrastructure and cybersecurity, requiring extensive authentication to access the files.
Developed an accessible program to predict, visualize, and animate the movement of planets and satellites in both Heliocentric and Geocentric models, compatible with the Ansys STK Astrogator environment for the purpose of mission planning and orbital maneuver calculations. This project was made for Orbital Mechanics, built on a collection of MATLAB scripts and a GUI made using MATLAB App Designer.
Developed and maintained several websites with different goals and functions. Besides the aforementioned TRIO and Cloud Storage websites, I have also published other sites for personal use, entertainment, record-keeping, and more. Gained experience in Analytics, Search Engine Optimization, Accessibility, and Quality Assurance.
Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, designed and documented the ordnance system of a missile as part of a design competition.
Optimized and streamlined rough aircraft design processes using Python and MATLAB scripts, emphasizing fluid analysis in conditions including cruise flight, orbital re-entry, and wind tunnel simulations.
Designed as a project for Aircraft Design class. Light Utility single-propeller plane with STOL capabilities, where the pilot assumes a prone position. Followed professional design procedures to create a model on SolidWorks with an accurate weight, powerplant, and other established requirements.
Experience working with ESP32, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi microcontroller boards for use in recreational and utility devices. Devices include custom gamepads, computer peripherals, environment regulation sensor for pets, holiday decorations, smart home accessories, and more.
Working on a historically accurate 1:1 recreation of old El Paso and Juarez. To be placed onto a Godot Game Engine environment to allow videogame-like exploration. Required advanced direct modeling methods done on Blender and vast academic research of the time period.
Custom small form factor computer hosting linux and placed on a custom enclosure. Capabilities similar to those of the consumer "Flipper Zero".
Constantly coming up with new ideas for projects, with common use of 3D-Printing, microcontrollers, and linux integration.
