Skills and Experience

My value to your team lies not just in my technical skill set, but my ability to elevate those around me. This is because I apply the same philosophy for race car design towards my leadership roles. I listen and seek to understand, paying close attention to connect details to the big picture. Through this lens, I find the capacity to bring people together around shared goals. By focusing on relationships above individuals, I can build a team, and a car, worth more than the sum of its parts.​​​​​​​

In December 2019 I placed as runner up in the Infiniti Engineering Academy USA Finals

Preparing with my team for design judging at the 2019 Formula SAE Michigan Competition

  • Design Process Overhaul
    I was elected as Chief Engineer of the Clemson Formula SAE team on a platform of overhauling our team design ideology to focus on subsystem integration. This was achieved by implementing new structures to standardize the design process and investing in the development and validation of simulations to explore subsystem interactions.
  • Vehicle Tradespace Development
    To fully realize my team vision, I secured $48,000 from the International Center for Automotive Research to lead a small student team in the development of a vehicle design process centered around a Tradespace Analysis. Learn more
  • Expanding Technical Partnerships
    I implemented a vision to break the mold of traditional Formula SAE sponsorship that consists of monetary donations. Instead, I worked with companies like Club Car and Ohlins USA to deploy collaborative projects between students and employees, strengthening recruitment channels and increasing the value returned to both parties.
  • Expanding Campus Partnerships
    Over the last two years, I worked across 2 campuses, 5 university departments and 3 other student organizations to initiate interdisciplinary events and collaborative projects.
  • Community Outreach
    Using FSAE's platform, I expanded our outreach commitment across upstate South Carolina, reaching thousands of students each year to share opportunities of getting a STEM education.
  • Proven Competition Track Record
    At FSAE Michigan 2019, we placed 18th overall out of 120 teams, marking our first top-20 finish in an official SAE competition since 2013. In the 2020 FSAE virtual competition, we were recognized for being in the top 10% in a field of 150 teams for both design and business - making us one of only four teams to win awards for multiple events!

Next it was time to narrow in on the desired range of available damping. For this car we focused on three primary modes of body motion: Pitch, heave, and roll. As a starting point, we built off of previous work done in 2019 with the help of Ohlins USA and their 4 post shaker rig.
