Enstone, United Kingdom

• Modeling of a wide range of vehicle systems in C++, requiring in-depth understanding of Vehicle Dynamics• Developed a novel competitor analysis tool to obtain key competitor telemetry data• Investigated novel Lap Simulation techniques• Worked closely with the Performance Engineers and Simulator Engineers on improving model correlation to track data• Supported Race Strategy at the factory-based operations room during race weekends• Decreased the runtime of lap simulations by over 30%

Cranfield, United Kingdom

• Improved ride comfort over standard road profiles (speed bumps, potholes, repaired roads, etc.) in ADAMS Car through spring stiffness selection and reduction of driver excitations due to engine vibrations• Automated batch-run sweeps of setups or road profiles as well as parallel-processing of ADAMS results in MATLAB• Data Engineer and Scrutineer at Renault Clio Cup events to compliment vehicle dynamics knowledge with trackside experience

Enstone, United Kingdom

• Supported the Performance Engineers and Race Engineers during race weekends. • Responsible for cross-car setup, simulation correlation and GPS competitor analysis during practice sessions• Analyzed track data to provide performance and reliability recommendations for current and future events• Developed automated pre and post-event analysis tools• Aided the simulation, simulator and controls groups by providing model feedback from track correlation studies using ATLAS• Miscellaneous other tasks such as competitor setup analysis and post-season summaries

London, Canada

Member of various sub-teams, leading to a deeper understanding of cross-system collaboration and trade-offs:• Vehicle Dynamics – Kinematics Design, Lap Simulation, Driver-in-the-loop Simulator• Aerodynamics Lead – Design in Star CCM+, Correlated using Wind-Tunnel & Track Testing. Reduced drag by 35% with Drag Reduction system, also allowing for more aggressive lift vs drag ratio• Powertrain – Cooling design in conjunction with aerodynamic design to reduce system weight by 40% while increasing downforce by 6.8%. Fuel System weight reduction though tank baffles and a return-less delivery.• Chassis – Assisted with team’s first CFRP, resin-infusion Monocoque including physical testing & manufacturing

London, On Canada

• Led and managed over 50 team members who design, build, and race a racecar from scratch every year • Coordinated the technical and non-technical aspects of the team including supply chain, finances, logistics, and manufacturing.• Created a “Parameter Sensitivity Table” to weigh relative impact of vehicle parameters such as weight, horsepower and cost - aiding in quantifying decision making between design alternatives• Improved world ranking to 13th from 54th out of over 500 Universities with a 1st, two 2nd and two top 10 finishes; the best competition season in the team’s 30-year history

• Continuing the development of a solar-powered crop dryer for third world applications.• Designing, manufacturing, and testing of a solar-thermal heat exchanger with solar-tracking capabilities.• Following instructions with little guidance

• Assisted with designing, prototyping and testing auto parts for high-end performance cars and trucks• Wide range of detail-oriented mechanical installation and maintenance tasks

• Assisted in the start-up, including construction, menu & pricing, marketing and operation• Earned full responsibility for running the Café on a daily basis

• Devised programs to teach various sports to young children• Commended for my approach to leadership and team work
