I started off my first year or so on the Formula team taking on smaller design and manufacturing projects, and really advanced my skills throughout the last few years once I was more experienced with the machines in the shop. I quickly fell in love with welding and spent much of my senior year TIG welding exhaust pipes, roll hoops, steering components, and tons of suspension parts.
I also spent plenty of time behind the scenes as Team Manager during my senior year organizing team logistics such as overall timelines, travel logistics for competition, budget, and ordering all the parts and stock to manufacture our cars.
I was the lead for the Driver Controls subsystem during my junior year and focused on redesigning and manufacturing components that maximized driver comfort.
