Pilot Training
Flight School: Logged one flight hour in a Cirrus SR22T and four hours of ground instruction, covering straight-and-level flight, level turns, steep turns, basic avionics, navigation, ground operations, traffic pattern procedures, and pre-flight inspection.
Self-Study: Completed Sporty's Private Pilot lessons on introductory flight and landing procedures.
RC Aircraft
Independently assembled, disassembled, and piloted a Carbon Cub RC plane.
Drone Operations
Flew a range of commercial drones in both controlled lab settings and public environments.
Tunnel Flying
Logged seven flights at iFLY Indoor Skydiving, building foundational body flight skills.
Software & Simulation
3D Game Design
Designed and developed two original 3D games using Claude Code, including a multiplayer air combat simulator and an open-world exploration game.
Simulation Design
Created an interactive delta wing aerodynamics simulator with adjustable variables.
UAV Programming
Programmed and built five Lego Spike UAVs, self-teaching efficient development through incremental building.
Domain Knowledge
Aviation History
Audited AER 113, History of Aviation, at Guilford Technical Community College, evaluating contributions of pioneers and analyzing the impact of flight on modern society.
Control Surfaces
Identified all primary and secondary control surfaces and explained their aerodynamic principles, including effects on lift, drag, and aircraft movement.
Military Aircraft Identification
Self-taught identification of modern military aircraft by sight and name.
FAA Safety Certified
Passed the FAA Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST).

Roamschool: the learning model.
Roamschool™ is a rebellion. Curiosity beats conformity. Design beats default. Agency beats assignments. Real learning happens in the real world, on purpose.
