Bearcats Electric Racing is a  student organization that builds an electric formula style race car and competes against over a hundred other universities in a competition called Formula SAE. 

"Formula SAE (FSAE) is an international collegiate engineering competition organized by SAE International that challenges university students to design, build, and race a small, open-wheel formula-style race car. The competition simulates a real-world automotive engineering program, where student teams operate as if they were a startup company designing a prototype race vehicle for weekend autocross racing."

As a first year on the team I was tasked with designing and manufacturing the steering system for our 2026 competition car. After my first year I realized I was more interested in the vehicle dynamics on the team so for my second year I moved into a more simulation role. Currently I am in charge of leading our simulation team to develop our first in house simulation tools. 

Starting as a CO-OP senior year of high school, I got the opportunity to learn about manufacturing technology in the aerospace industry. After being hired full time, I was tasked with programming 5 axis repairs on FAA and DOD certified jet engines. Through this experience I learned about probing routines, parametric macro and G-code programming, and low tolerance manufacturing techniques.
