Personal Profile

Reuben Ford

I am a final year Mechanical Engineering and Applied Physics student at the University of Technology Sydney. I became an engineer because I want to build new products which push technology forward.

My goal is to work on hard problems which matter. So far, I have enjoyed designing and building hardware which solves real problems, such as custom biological safety cabinets and HEPA filtration products. I have experience in mechanical design, CAD and manufacturing. I am very interested in space and rocketry, and I hope to work in this field in the future.

Recently I have been working on my hybrid rocket motor capstone project, successfully completing the first hot fire test in January 2026.

Below is a collection of various project I have either completed on my own or contributed to.
