Project Daedalus
About Me
As Deputy Lead for the NASA and Lockheed Martin-sponsored Project Daedalus, I direct cross-functional teams in developing high-reliability avionics, achieving zero critical failures under peak loads. I am passionate about applying this rigorous, hardware-level discipline to the field of cybersecurity, seeking challenges where physical constraints meet digital security.
In Collaboration With
Project Daedalus was developed with key sponsorship and support from Lockheed Martin and NASA.

Engineering The Data Loop
Simulation is needed but additionally, I built a custom Arduino + Load Cell rig to capture real-world thrust metrics, proving our eCalc models were underestimating performance by 40%.
Theoretical T/W
0.89
Validated T/W
