About

In 2025, I went from being unemployed, to launching my first Level 1 rocket, to joining Lockheed Martin, while creating content that's reached 100,000+ aerospace engineers. Here's the journey: 2025: Launched it all August: Started posting consistently on LinkedIn September: Created the Aerospace Resume Bank (750+ downloads), earned Level 1 certification, crossed 1,000 followers October: Launched T-minus X Minutes newsletter teaching rocket science and engineering November: First post hit 100K impressions December: Crossed 100 YouTube subscribers, nearly 2,000 LinkedIn followers, joined Lockheed Martin. Today: I'm full-time on two missions Mission 1: Build a guided ascent rocket complete with PID control, custom flight computer, and progressive test flights. I'm documenting everything: the failures, the math, the breakthroughs. Mission 2: Make aerospace accessible by teaching what actually works to break into this industry. Through infographics, newsletter deep-dives, and YouTube videos that show what I'm building as well as stories about aerospace's past, present, and future. Here's how I can help you: 1️⃣ Want to break into aerospace? Grab my free Aerospace Resource Bank in my Featured section. Real resumes from SpaceX, Blue Origin, NASA, and more. See what the bar actually is. 2️⃣ Want to learn rocketry? Subscribe to my YouTube (@MaduekeIndustries) where I teach rocket science through storytelling. No lectures, just clear explanations and real builds. 3️⃣ Want weekly rocket science lessons? Join the T-minus X Minutes newsletter. Everything I'm learning about rocketry and engineering, delivered to your inbox. (Included in the Resource Bank Featured Section) 4️⃣ Just here for the journey? Hit follow. I'm posting the unfiltered build process, technical breakdowns, and lessons from turning unemployment into a full-time rocket project. My dream: See Earth from space with my own eyes. My plan: Build rockets, create content, help others make it into this incredible industry. My belief: God willing, we're all gonna make it. 📧 Collabs & speaking: sydney@maduekeindustries.com 🚀 YouTube: @MaduekeIndustries 📬 Newsletter: https://madueke-industries.kit.com/141447c191
