Profile bio
About Matthew Kovacs
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at San Jose State University with a passion for competition and motorsport. I specialize in automotive mechanical systems, and have experience with blank-page design and simulation of powertrain components such as planetary gearboxes, gears, axles, differentials, motors, and exhaust systems. Furthermore, I love to dive into the raw vehicle dynamics of motorsport, with knowledge of how to make race setup decisions related to gear ratio selection and differential preload/ramp angle settings. My years of CNC machining experience allow me to bridge the gap between theoretical engineering design and a practical real world solution. I am always eager to learn more, whether it be in the classroom or through interactive experience in the field.
