Hi, my name is JP O’Dell. This site is a place to share my portfolio. I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2021 with a BS in Aerospace Engineering. I currently work as an engineer in Mojave, CA for a company providing hypersonic flight test services.

Flying has always been my passion and I am constantly working to expand my experience envelope. I have accumulated over 1400 hours of flight time in over 35 aircraft types including experience in multi-engine, turboprop, turbofan, gliders, ultralight, and experimental aircraft. I own an experimental formula one airplane and became the youngest pilot to ever race in the formula one class at the Reno Air Races.
