A dirt late model race team competing in regional and national series. These are ~900hp 2300lb (1040kg) vehicles that have significant aero sensitive bodies. The race team is a collaboration of engineers and technicians. - vehicle setup and alignment- engine, transmission and axle maintenance- body construction (aluminum, composites, plastic)- damper construction, dyno testing and tuning- data acquisition- full vehicle kinematics and compliance testing- chassis stiffness evaluation- suspension and vehicle simulation- CFD study contributor (https://totalsim.us/simulating-a-dirt-late-model-in-cfd/)- human mass modeling- 3D printed components for prototype and in-service- tire physical testing and modeling- race team transport design, construction and maintenance (semi with two car liftgate trailer)

Member of software product management team for Simcenter 3D Motion, a multi-body dynamics solution based in NX CAE environment. We align customer priorities and software development opportunities. I created and managed partnerships between Siemens and other class-leading software companies to deliver accurate results and computationally fast solutions for customers. Activities involve real-time solving requirements and co-simulation with 3rd-party products across various platforms. My product management and product ownership (agile) roles help a global development team create Motion model digital twins (predictive, executable, companion), results that align with Siemens key strategies and our customer's priorities

Collaborated with customers to leverage the expansive line of LMS products and partner solutions. Specialized in wheeled vehicle simulation for 0-100hz. Applications focused on the reuse of high fidelity, high degree-of-freedom models in real-time.(LMS Virtual.Lab Motion was a Dassualt Systemes Catia V5 based product for Motion analysis)

Worked with customers to utilize expansive line of LMS products and partner solutions. Specializing in wheeled vehicle simulation for 0-100hz. Active in identification of customer problems, preparation of requirements for product road map, and pre-post sales training. Alignment of sales with our latest solutions.(LMS Virtual.Lab Motion was a Dassualt Systemes Catia V5 based product for Motion analysis)

Built and sold dirt and pavement racecars. My role as fabricator included body design, construction and installation, car assembly, and part manufacturing.
