From A&P Foundations to Mechanical Engineering

My FAA Airframe & Powerplant certification is grounded in hands-on aircraft maintenance. Working with aircraft structures, materials and mechanical systems taught me to connect drawings and design decisions with how equipment is assembled, inspected and maintained.

I carry that perspective into mechanical engineering: considering inspection access, serviceability and material choices alongside function. Safety and practical engineering judgment guide how I approach design, fabrication and troubleshooting.
