About

I’m Steve, a third-year B.Tech Aeronautical Engineering student with a strong interest in aircraft design, aerodynamics, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). I enjoy applying engineering principles to solve real-world aerospace challenges, especially through simulation and hands-on prototyping. I use tools like SolidWorks, XFLR5, MATLAB, ANSYS Fluent, and OpenFOAM to design, analyze, and refine aircraft systems, with a focus on improving performance and understanding flight dynamics. I’m always looking to expand my skills through practical experience, challenging projects, and collaboration, aiming to push my understanding further and grow as an engineer.
