Drone Challenge 2026
5th Edition - Ter AA Representative
Drone Challenge 2026
Overview
The Drone Challenge is a prestigious national competition where teams of students design, build, and race custom drones through complex obstacle courses. As one of only three students selected from the entire Ter AA Techniek & ICT college, I served as the Main 3D Designer, Embedded Systems Engineer, and Co-Pilot for the Ter AA drone team.
My Contributions
Designed custom 3D-printed components using Autodesk Fusion to optimize the drone's aerodynamic performance and structural integrity. Developed and programmed the embedded flight systems using Arduino/C++, working in close collaboration with the pilot to fine-tune control algorithms and real-time sensor processing. The team's combined effort resulted in a competitive, high-performance racing drone that successfully navigated the challenge course.

International Energy Challenge 2026
Avans / Ter AA - Participant
International Energy Challenge
Overview
The International Energy Challenge is a collaborative competition organized by Avans University of Applied Sciences and Ter AA, bringing together students from multiple institutions to solve real-world energy problems. Participants work in multidisciplinary teams to design and present innovative, sustainable energy solutions.
Participation
Represented Ter AA at the International Energy Challenge, collaborating with students across disciplines to develop technical solutions addressing modern energy challenges. The experience strengthened my ability to work under pressure, communicate across technical domains, and apply engineering principles to real-world sustainability problems.
