Profesional Experience

Placement Year | Team Principal | DMU Racing

September 2023 – September 2024

Led a team of DMU Racing engineering students in the end-to-end development of a Formula-style electric race car for the Formula Student UK competition. Managed a diverse team of students from a range of engineering disciplines. Oversaw all aspects of the project lifecycle including concept development, design, prototyping, testing and final production.
Developed and manufactured a high-voltage battery pack for the electric vehicle during my placement year. I also involved in the development of the electric powertrain system of the car and the designed numerous electronic circuits for the team.
Ensured projects were completed on time and within budget by effectively allocating funds and resources. Utilised essential project management tools such as Gantt charts to plan and track progress and bills of materials (BOM) to manage project resources and costs.
