Software ecosystem: SolidWorks, CATIA V5/V6, Advanced Aircraft Analysis (AAA), X-Plane, Fusion 360, Blender, ROS, Gazebo, ArduPilot, FlightGear, Betaflight
We integrate AI and machine learning where required to enhance autonomy, navigation, and mission intelligence.
––––––––––––––––––
Structural Analysis & FEA
We perform detailed structural validation and optimization using both analytical and numerical approaches. Our experience includes composite airframes, metallic structures, mechanical assemblies, and load-critical aerospace components.
Capabilities:
• Static and dynamic structural analysis
• Load case development
• Buckling and fatigue assessment
• Lightweight optimization
• Failure prediction
Tools: ANSYS, ABAQUS, SolidWorks Simulation, NX Nastran
––––––––––––––––––
AI & Engineering Automation
With strong foundations in Python and MATLAB, we develop intelligent engineering workflows, predictive models, and optimization frameworks that enhance system performance and decision-making.
Applications include:
• UAV autonomy and guidance logic
• Sensitivity analysis and model optimization
• Data-driven performance enhancement
• Simulation automation
––––––––––––––––––
Mechanical Engineering & Product Development
Beyond aerospace, we handle mechanical product design, CAD modeling, CFD/FEA validation of components, and engineering analysis for industrial applications.
Our work is structured, data-driven, and aligned with real-world manufacturing constraints.

HOW I WORK
For projects requiring specialist development, I act as the primary client-facing technical and project contact.
I can manage:
Requirements → Technical planning → Specialist developer coordination → Implementation → Testing & QA → Client feedback → Revisions → Documentation → Deployment → Handover
This means you have a single technical point of contact who understands the requirements, coordinates the development team and keeps the project moving without requiring you to manage individual developers yourself.
Whether you need engineering/product development, a mobile application, technical software, or a multidisciplinary technical project, I can help structure the work, coordinate the appropriate expertise and deliver against clear milestones.
