Hi! I'm Tiger Sky Jewell-Alibhai, but everyone calls me Tigey. I am 23 years old and love anything to do with Engineering and Design. I am pursuing a career in Robotics Engineering as a flight test and systems engineer at Autonodyne.
I grew up in the Algarve province of Portugal, and only moved to the US just before high school. Because of my parents' work, I have travelled to many different places such as China, India, Namibia, and the UK.
I am an avid drone & FPV enthusiast, and enjoy making and flying planes and quads. Photography, cinematography, and photogrammetry with drones is also really fun, and I have a U.S. Part 107 Commercial Drone License. Whether it's racing wings or a camera drone, UAVs offer unique contributions to photography and a really great inexpensive and risk-free way to fly for fun.
At Olin College, I had the opportunity to turn my ideas into meaningful projects and collaborated with amazing people on a daily basis. I was the Project Manager of Olin's Design Build Fly aircraft team and I was involved in other projects such as designing and building a 3D scanner, creating a frisbee tracking system, developing a modular videogame, and using PCA and eigenfaces to identify endangered species of animals by their footprints.
I am now working at Autonodyne in Boston, as a flight testing and systems engineer. I love the work variety of rapid prototyping of mechanical, electrical, and software integrated systems, as well as frequent unmanned vehicle testing. Whether it is a plane, a multirotor, a rover, or even a boat, I love the process of quickly making or adapting a system to meet needs as they arise.
