About

I am a Mechanical Engineer working on Performance and Simulation Engineering for GT3 racing. I have an interest in solving technical problems using software, simple models, and process design.

Notes & Reflections

Work Experience

Sept 2025 — Now

Sportscar Simulation and Performance Engineer
Ford Performance Motorsports Concord, NC
Ran simulator sessions for race team drivers to develop and test race setups, acclimate drivers, and provide race engineers and crew chiefs valuable simulated performance data

Conduit between Ford engineering and programs, race team engineers, and race drivers to maximize Ford’s on-track race performance
Exercised vehicle dynamics knowledge and existing data to propose designs and setups for DOEs leading to the optimum configurations for race day.

Concord, NC

Jan 2020 —August 2025

Aerodynamicist

Ford Performance Motorsports

Design, tested, and implemented key aerodynamic components towards multiple Ford Performance race and demonstrator vehicles. NASCAR NextGen, WRC Puma, SuperVan 4.2, Australian Supercar, and NASCAR Truck

Supported DIL testing and validation of aerodynamics maps in development of WRC Puma, NASCAR Truck, SuperTruck and SuperVan 

Implemented computation and experimental methods across programs to enhance modeling accuracy, analysis depth, and reporting clarity.

Concord, NC

October 2018 – December 2019

Designed and engineered high-performance exhaust systems for off-road vehicles, focusing on structural integrity, vibration dampening, and durability.

Conducted comprehensive evaluations of exhaust systems through computational simulations and experimental testing, including static structural analysis (FEA), and noise simulation using 1D/3D simulation software.
