Mount Sac Rocketry Team
I designed and CAD-modeled my own rocket from the ground up, carefully selecting materials, components, and flight systems to optimize performance and safety. After extensive planning and testing, I successfully launched the rocket using an H-class motor, reaching approximately 4,000 feet, and earned my Level 1 (L1) certification. This project gave me hands-on experience in propulsion, avionics integration, stability analysis, and flight recovery systems, while reinforcing problem-solving, attention to detail, and applied engineering skills.

As a member of the Mt. San Antonio College Rocketry Team, I collaborated with students from diverse disciplines to design, build, and launch experimental rockets for the FAR Unlimited competition, organized by Friends of Amateur Rocketry. I contributed by integrating payloads with avionics and telemetry, implementing redundant ignition and ejection systems, and designing parachute recovery mechanisms to meet safety and performance requirements. Competing at FAR allowed me to apply engineering principles in a high-pressure, real-world environment, strengthening my teamwork, project management, and hands-on aerospace design skills.
