I’m not your classic behind the desk, tweak a spreadsheet kind of engineer. I’m the guy who wants to model it, build it, test it, break it (just a bit), and then fix it better. I like getting my hands dirty just as much as running clean simulations. I’ve worked across powertrain simulation, regenerative braking, battery management, and vehicle dynamics using tools like GT-SUITE, MATLAB, Simulink, and Multisim. But tools are just tools. What excites me is seeing the theory come to life. At the end of the day, I don’t just want to be told how a system works, I want to prove it. I want to feel it. I want to see it do its thing, fail gloriously, and come back with a better version. That’s where the fun is. I’m the engine boy, obsessed with powertrains, gear ratios, and the magic that happens when mechanical and madness meet. I love working on next-gen engine tech, especially sustainable fuels.
