Background

About A. J. Presto

I am a fourth-year student at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering while concurrently earning a Master's degree in the same discipline. Driven by a passion for exploring the vast expanse of outer space, I aim to contribute to humanity's progress in aerospace innovation. My primary focuses at Cal Poly include conducting research on a robotic manipulator for a 3U CubeSat and completing my Master’s thesis on advanced propulsion technologies. Additionally, as an active member of the Cal Poly Space Systems club, I have contributed to projects involving rocket design, testing, and launch. Beyond academics and research, I serve as a Field Supervisor for Cal Poly Associated Students, Inc, where I oversee operations and safety at the Cal Poly Sports Complex and Doerr Family Field. I thrive in team-oriented and positive environments, leveraging my communication and leadership skills to foster collaboration and achieve results. I am seeking internships that provide hands-on experience and opportunities to make a meaningful impact in aerospace sciences and technologies.
