CFDLab — a two-book CFD codebase
An independent, ongoing Python companion to the Lomax–Pulliam–Zingg two-book CFD curriculum — analytical probes, three structurally different quasi-1-D Euler solvers, verification-gated 2-D lanes, and CI-pinned numerical baselines.

aeroAUTO
A personal OpenFOAM external-aero workflow built around the Ahmed body as a benchmark exercise: a mesh-refinement sweep with pressure / wake / y⁺ inspection, the drag discrepancy documented rather than claimed as validation.

ROLE · CONTRACT · 2025–2026
Sepal AI · reproducible aerospace analysis workflows
Aerospace engineering inside Sepal AI's task-based system — building reproducible analysis workflows, including constraint-driven fixed-wing UAV sizing, that someone without the original setup can re-run and trust.

MENG · UTIAS · 2023–2025
SBP operators and Gregory quadrature
MEng project with Prof. David Zingg on high-order summation-by-parts finite-difference operators and generalised Gregory quadrature rules for boundary closures.

UTAT · 2023–2025
UTAT wing MDO
Wing aerodynamics and a simple multidisciplinary design loop — nonlinear lifting-line coupled with beam-bending spar sizing — for the UTAT SAE Aero competition aircraft.
