I am a propulsion engineer at SEDS KCT, a student-led organization that designs, tests, and launches rockets and satellites. I apply my knowledge and skills in propulsion systems, aerodynamics, and ignition engineering to create innovative solutions that can reach beyond the Earth's atmosphere and explore the unknown. We have successfully launched several projects, such as Tenacity, a hybrid rocket with a potassium nitrate and sucrose based fuel system that achieved a maximum altitude of 100 m. I am also a passionate astronomy enthusiast and an avid astrophotographer.
