Liquid Rocket Propulsion - BlueCat
A flight capable liquid rocket platform built around the open-source N₂O/IPA propulsion architecture from HalfCat Rocketry. I fabricated and integrated the vehicle, propulsion hardware, feed system, and ground support equipment, then developed the procedures required to safely operate and test the system.
The first static fire successfully demonstrated the integrated propulsion system and validated the test procedures, fueling operations, ignition sequence, and shutdown process. The project is now progressing toward instrumented testing and flight.

Level 2 Certification - 1:12 Redstone Missile
A 5.5” diameter, 1:12 scale Mercury Redstone built for my Tripoli Level 2 high power rocketry certification. The project combined scale modeling with the structural and recovery requirements of a high power rocket, culminating in a successful certification flight.
