2025–2026 • Terps Racing Formula IC (Manufacturing Subteam Lead)
Chassis Jigging & Main Roll Hoop Bending
Assisted on 2026 chassis jigging before leading design and machining of the 2027 modular fixtures. Programmed an Okuma CNC mill to machine locating plates with 0.250″ dowel pin fits. Bent 1.000″ × 0.095″ chromoly roll hoops, compensating for springback, and used a mix of heat and sand to prevent wall thinning.
2025- 2026 • Power Electronics & PCB Design
Custom 6–28V to 5V Buck Converter & eFuse Protection
Designed a 6–28V to 5V (5A) buck converter in KiCad with integrated TI TPS26631 eFuse protection. Configured hardware UVLO, OVP, and 5.42A current limiting using resistor networks and soft-start timing. Resolved early gate-drive faults and optimized 2-layer PCB high-current loops and thermal routing.

2025-2026 • Data Logging & Telemetry System
ESP32-S3 GPS & IMU Kinematic Data Logger
Developed an ESP32-S3 vehicle dynamics logger to capture real-time chassis telemetry during track runs. Interfaced a u-blox MAX-M10S GNSS and 9-DOF IMU over UART and SPI. Eliminated buffer overruns under vibration to stream and log non-blocking CSV/GeoJSON kinematic data.
