Build it.
Test it.
Learn fast.
I’m Ryan—an aerospace engineer working across propulsion, integrated testing, and energy technology. I like the point where a good idea meets the real world.
/ Approach
The best engineering happens when analysis and hands-on testing keep each other honest.
Analyze
Turning messy results into useful engineering decisions.
Integrate
Keeping subsystem work connected to the full mission.
/ Selected work
Ideas under
real-world pressure.
Projects and experiences where testing, systems thinking, and curiosity converge.

Curious by default.
Rigorous by practice.
I’m completing my aerospace engineering degree at the University of Colorado Boulder. My work has taken me from propulsion and integrated test to advanced nuclear energy and environmental machine learning.
Different domains, same motivation: understand the system, ask the useful question, and build evidence strong enough to move forward.
