Engineering Challenge
Build a reliable, responsive aircraft from independently sourced components while managing tight packaging, electrical compatibility, vibration, heat, and crash durability.
Approach
I researched the complete system, checked component compatibility, planned the stack, soldered and assembled each aircraft, flashed firmware, tuned flight behavior, and designed custom printed parts where the standard hardware fell short.
Results
The projects expanded my experience from CAD into complete electromechanical integration. Troubleshooting a crash-damaged aircraft improved durability, video quality, and flight characteristics.

Key Outcomes
- Built eight custom FPV racing drones from scratch
- Developed practical electronics, soldering, and firmware skills
- Used failure analysis to repair and improve a damaged aircraft
