Private Pilot (17)
I earned my Private Pilot License as the foundational step in my aviation training, which authorized me to operate single-engine aircraft under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) for personal and recreational purposes.

Instrument Flight Rules (18)
To expand my operational capabilities, I obtained an Instrument Rating, enabling me to safely navigate and fly solely by reference to cockpit instruments under Instrument Flight Rules, particularly in low-visibility or adverse weather conditions.
Commercial (20)
My Commercial Pilot License qualified me to act as Pilot in Command for compensation or hire. The training emphasized advanced aeronautical decision-making, complex systems management, and high-performance maneuvering.
Multiengine (20)
I added a Multi-Engine Rating to my certificate, which prepared me to handle the aerodynamic and procedural complexities of twin-engine aircraft, particularly during asymmetric thrust scenarios such as engine failure.
Flight Instructor (21)
As a Certified Flight Instructor, I am authorized to provide flight instruction, which has deepened my understanding of aeronautical theory and sharpened my ability to communicate complex flight concepts to student pilots.
Gyrocopter (21)
I added a Multi-Engine Rating to my certificate, which prepared me to handle the aerodynamic and procedural complexities of twin-engine aircraft, particularly during asymmetric thrust scenarios such as engine failure.
The ejection chamber was designed to safely and reliably separate the nosecone at apogee. I machined and assembled the chamber using aluminum tubing, shear pins, and 3D-printed end caps to contain the black powder charge. I conducted multiple ground tests to validate the seal integrity and optimize the charge size for consistent deployment. Each test helped refine the fit, wiring layout, and safety procedures to ensure repeatable, flight-ready performance.
