Hello, I’mEngineerForever curious

Hi, I’m Ibrahim Bisen.

I’m an aerospace engineer and hands-on builder in Austin. I like turning sketches into real machines - and spending the rest of my time with old cars, racing, visual collections, art, and whatever else sparks my curiosity.

A little about me Open résumé

About

I have always been interested in how ambitious ideas become physical things.

That curiosity led me to aerospace engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, then into vehicle development, full-scale testing, robotics, composites, machining, and manufacturing. I am happiest moving between analysis and the shop.

Outside it I restore a 1984 BMW E30, race in simulation, never miss an F1 lights-out, collect images of flowers, space, and art, and speak English and Turkish with working Russian and Arabic.

Projects

Turning questions into physical answers.

Design, fabrication, software, testing, and plenty of iteration. Every build keeps room for its full story on the project index.

Beyond eng.

There is more than engineering.

Three collections I keep adding to, plus the writing, the library, the travels, and the complete build index.
