Rebellion Defense

Rebellion Defense

I developed innovative solutions in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and cybersecurity to support national defense and security initiatives. I collaborated on advanced defense technologies with various U.S. military branches. While I’m unable to share specific project details due to NDA and export control restrictions, I can highlight the key design areas, team processes, and technical skills I contributed to during my time here.
