Summary
Brandon R is an aerospace engineer and University of Michigan student blending hands-on military engineering with student-led motorsport aerodynamics leadership. With 11 years of varied experience—from the US Navy aerospace engineering role to supervising concession operations—he combines practical systems thinking, cost- and waste-reduction operational improvements, and CAD/CFD proficiency (CATIA V5, Star-CCM+). He programs and operates CNC equipment (ProtoTRAK, HAAS) and codes in C++ and MATLAB, pairing mechanical design fluency with a computer science minor. As aerodynamics lead for MRacing Formula SAE, he applies aerodynamic analysis and manufacturing skills to real-world vehicle performance. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who bridges disciplined military practice, shop-level fabrication, and academic aerospace research.
