// 00 — Introduction

Raphael
Murillo.

Mechanical Engineering student at De La Salle University Manila. Team lead of Archernauts (aerospace & rocketry team).

Curious about most things with moving parts and figuring out the rest. Aerospace and rocketry got me first, but energy systems, sustainability, AI, data, and whatever rabbit hole opens next aren't so far behind.

// 02 — My Engineering Principles
01

Form Follows Function — But Function Can Be Beautiful

I don't compromise performance for aesthetics. But I believe good design considers both.

02

Iterate in Public

Failed prototypes teach more than successful ones. I document the mess, not just the wins.

03

Engineering is Communication

If I can't explain how it works, I don't understand it well enough. Clarity over complexity.

04

Build, Measure, Learn

CAD is the hypothesis. The prototype is the experiment. Data informs the next iteration.
