About
Aerospace engineer and technical consultant with 10+ years of experience in the design, simulation, and development of manned and unmanned aircraft systems. I specialize in CAD surface modeling (CATIA V5), CFD simulations (ANSYS Fluent), and technical documentation for aerospace design programs.
Iโm the founder of ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ข ๐๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป, a Mexico-based engineering firm providing remote CAD/CFD services to clients in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. My project portfolio includes hybrid-electric aircraft, closed-wing biplanes, 150-kg VTOL UAVs, crop-spray systems for Bell 407 helicopters, and custom training simulators.
I work project-based, 100% remote, and under NDA when needed โ helping aerospace teams accelerate design cycles, improve aerodynamic performance, and deliver ready-to-integrate CAD/CFD solutions.
Currently expanding into AI-assisted aerodynamic design, generative geometry, and surrogate modeling for CFD optimization.
