Steven Karpov

Through my university team and project experiences, I have gained over 2 years of applied engineering experience and have developed a deep understanding of engineering and physics principles. As the Control Systems Lead for the Solar-Powered Drone Design project, I designed and assembled a lightweight drone, optimizing its energy efficiency and endurance for extended flight missions. I collaborated with mechanical and electrical teams to validate the system's reliability and operational capabilities under diverse weather conditions. Additionally, as the Structure Lead for the Spacecraft Propulsion Club, I directed an atomic oxygen exposure experiment to evaluate structural material durability under LEO conditions, supporting the development of enhanced spacecraft design.

I have developed an ecommerce company called Metal-Elite, which specializes in selling general merchandise products, as well as private labeling. I have developed my own soap brand and am currently in the process of developing more products with my logo on them. 

Aside for developing a successful e-commerce stores that satisfies thousands of customers per month, I have participated in numerous engineering projects including building drones, determining the effects of atomic oxygen erosion on structural components, and also testing radioactive cobalt's affect on space missions.
