David P. — Operations Associate
✈️ Engineer-in-Training | CAD Enthusiast | Aerospace From building LEGO aircraft as a kid to designing and 3D-printing my own aircraft models today, I’ve always been fascinated by how ideas take shape—first in imagination, then in engineering reality. I’m currently studying Aerospace Engineering at Monash University, where I get to combine my lifelong passion for aviation with hands-on experience in CAD, 3D printing, and engineering design. Along the way, I’ve tackled projects ranging from: 🛠️ Aircraft design & prototyping — from my blended wing body stealth bomber concept Bombardiro Furtivo to physical 3D-printed models. ⚙️ Propulsion systems — creating detailed turbofan models complete with rotors, stators, piping, and igniters. ⛵ Mechanical systems — CAD challenges like a piston-driven sailboat rig that deepened my understanding of assemblies, mates, and motion studies. These projects have taught me not only technical skills (SolidWorks, 3D printing, design for manufacturability), but also the persistence it takes to push through failed prints, complex geometries, and ambitious ideas. 🔍 I’m always looking for new challenges, whether in my coursework, student engineering teams, or personal projects. I love sharing my journey, learning from others’ experiences, and finding better ways to bring innovative designs to life. If you’re interested in aerospace, CAD design, 3D printing, or propulsion systems, I’d love to connect and exchange ideas.
