Ramsey Ponchaud Email & Phone Number

I’m a sophomore Aerospace Engineering student enrolled in junior-level courses, with a strong interest in aerodynamics and experimental aircraft. I plan to minor in Robotics and Mathematics. As the former Co-Founder and COO of Neptune Foils, I led the development of patent-pending hydrofoil prototypes and helped initiate plans to launch a new surf hydrofoil line.During my internship at Flexco, I gained hands-on experience in machining metal parts and SolidWorks design, contributing to the development of multiple prototypes. I was entrusted with the complete design, milling, and assembly of key components, operating with the autonomy of a design engineer. This experience strengthened my ability to integrate design and manufacturing skills, critical to my engineering development.In addition to Flexco, I led a team in the 2023-24 UA Big Ideas Contest, where I initiated the development of hydrofoil technology. This innovation advanced through multiple competitions in the 2024 year. I also have Fusion 360 design experience from high school and practical skills in building my own guitar, as well as lathe and woodworking projects. My 3D printing and CAD expertise includes designing surf hydrofoils.Currently, I serve as the Director of Brand Management and Outreach for the University of Alabama Wake Sports Club, showcasing my leadership and team-building abilities. My diverse skill set combines technical knowledge with real-world application, positioning me for a dynamic career in engineering.
