Building a groundbreaking aircraft with an outstanding team. - Responsible for the design, prototyping, and testing of various aircraft mechanical systems and components. - Managing Additively Manufactured (FDM, SLA, SLS, etc.) parts and performing strength and functionality testing. - Remote Test Pilot - ensuring safe and controlled flight operations of prototype aircraft.

Creating the world’s quietest and efficient UAV propellers. We consistently achieved an average 10 dB sound reduction (50% quieter) compared to the best conventional propellers on the market. Responsible for engineering, manufacturing, business development, sales, raising capital, etc. Grand prize winner of the MCAM (Mitsubishi Chemicals Advanced Materials) KyronMAX challenge. Sold patent rights to an established US-based UAV manufacturer to bring Delson technology to market through their product line up.

Investigating a wide array aircraft propulsion methods. CFD analysis to quickly and consistently compare key performance metrics. Consolidate results into easily comparable graphical outputs. Identify keys area for substantial improvement. Conclude research efforts into report for peer review. Conceptual phase begins. Primary design intent to conceive an ultra low noise propulsion system that could move the industry toward wide spread adoption. Designing, prototyping, and testing conceptual methods. Comparing performance, complexity, manufacturability, structural integrity, etc. of prototypes to determine a practical solution. Refining most promising methods down to a simplistic system that satisfies the original intent. Patent filing of novel aircraft propulsion method. Fabricating and testing at increasing scale to further validate system performance and operational integrity.

Building bad*** machines with some great people. - Working with clients to understand and execute their vision - Sketching & rendering concept motorcycles - CAD of frames, suspensions, bodywork, etc. - CNC programming and machining - Lathe, mill, and various equipment operation - Hand fab of gas tanks, seats, fenders, etc. - TIG & MIG welding of frames, exhausts, body work, etc. - Wiring of EMU's, lights, and various accessories - Testing and tuning before final delivery (burnouts & wheelies)
