As the Propulsion and Electronics Lead for the AIAA Design/Build/Fly competition at the University at Buffalo, I will be responsible for designing, selecting, and optimizing the propulsion system to ensure maximum performance and efficiency of our aircraft. This includes managing motor selection, propeller sizing, and battery configurations, as well as overseeing the integration of the electronics systems, such as wiring, sensors, and control modules, to ensure reliable operation during flight. My role will also involve coordinating with other team leads to align propulsion and electronics with the overall aircraft design.

Through Company, I was able to observe the process that new tech startups must go through. I was involved in the programming aspect of these startups and the other work that happens alongside it. I oversaw building a mentorship program for the new startup companies so that older startups can give their experienced useful insight to the newcomers in the tech industry. Through this program that I designed, newer startups now had guidance on what to do and what not to do that might save the new company a lot of money while doing something that was not needed.
