Hi! I'm Diego Préstamo, an electrical and software engineer.
I’ve built AI tools for national governments, developed flight simulation models for eVTOLs, and contributed to radar systems that shoot down nuclear missiles.

Designed the UI/UX for a secure, on-premises, AI platform built for a large national government. The platform equipped non-technical officials with secure, real-time insights on national data sets and reduced query-to-visualization time from 15–45 minutes to under 60 seconds.

Ran tolerance simulations on a multi-layer PCB for the AN/TPY-2 radar, confirming s-parameter compliance and keeping the contract on track. I also reverse-engineered a ferrite circulator for the HBFN program, recovering design knowledge lost in a merger, and created a MATLAB script to analyze s-parameters that boosted manufacturing efficiency from 12% to 80%.

Computer Engineer · Honeywell Aerospace
Phoenix, AZ
I developed a proxy actuation model of Vertical Aerospace's VX4 eVTOL to simulate vertical-to-horizontal flight transition, integrating actuators, microcontrollers, a 3D-printed shell, and a C++/MATLAB simulator. I also redesigned a tightly coupled power control switchbox into a modular system, enabling independent power control of flight simulator components for the UAM team.
