Aerospace / mechanical engineering
I work across propulsion hardware, thermal and fluid analysis, test, verification, and technical software.
Start here / Three retained cases
Requirements, methods, acceptance criteria, and dispositions—with the evidence behind each decision.
CFD / analytical references
I compared three pipe-grid cases against analytical pressure loss and retained intentional negative controls. Failed nozzle qualification and rejected CAD remain visible alongside the reference checks. Downloadable cases and evidence make the acceptance and rejection decisions reproducible.
Inspect the evidence →Coupled thermal / fluid studies
I organized analytical screening, reconstructed geometry, coupled CFD, and structural-transfer contracts around declared acceptance gates. The transfer study retains parametric geometry and unexecuted tolerance/FEA gates, not completed CAD or structural qualification. HX-S01 numerical failure and the analytical mismatch remain visible; engineering disposition is separate from solver completion.
Inspect the evidence →Requirements / bounded design decision
I screened three channel gaps analytically, then compared nine CFD cases across three meshes per design against a 40 Pa pressure budget at 25 mL/s. The 2.5 mm gap was the smallest tested option meeting the budget with the declared numerical allowance. The record traces the requirement, decision criteria, and bounded disposition.

Government, defense, and private-sector programs across analysis, test, hardware, and systems engineering.
Employer and customer hardware, facilities, drawings, and controlled technical data are intentionally not published. The visual evidence below comes from independent, public Aero studies.
04 — Software & Tools
I built Aero to carry an engineering question through requirements, first-principles checks, geometry, simulation, and reviewable evidence.
Turn an engineering question into a reviewable analysis: requirements, first-principles checks, geometry, CFD or structural analysis where justified, and inspectable evidence.
ForgeClaw — A framework for supervised agent execution with explicit authority boundaries, observable tool handoffs, evidence capture, verification, and controlled escalation.
OCR97 — A local document and image-text processing tool for screenshots, scans, forms, and image-based PDFs with adaptive preprocessing, lane selection, uncertainty visibility, and inspectable output.
05 — Public engineering evidence
The Aero verification bench retains passing and failing cases, numerical checks, solver evidence, and the artifacts behind each disposition.
Long-horizon concepts
Road to Type 2 and Bifrost Drive explore propulsion, energy, space infrastructure, and long-horizon civilization concepts. They are personal, theoretical works—not validated programs or employer-sponsored research.
