I design the object, then engineer it until it can actually be built.
Trained both ways: a mechanical engineering degree and BAJA fabrication, then an MSc at THI with industry projects for Rohde & Schwarz and tesa. Sketch, CMF, CAD and load cases, carried by one person.

An all-terrain vehicle designed, fabricated and raced by a student team over rock, sand and a water crossing. I was lead designer.
FMAE Baja judges the engineering you can defend in front of a panel, then whether the car survives days of rough ground. The two pull against each other: every gram you remove to go faster is a gram you have to argue for on paper, and then trust when the car lands off a jump with a driver inside.
The roll cage, suspension pick-up points, driver space and extinguisher mount all want the same volume, and every subsystem lead is sure theirs should win. My job was deciding, in order, and keeping those decisions consistent enough that the fabricators could keep cutting tube.


Twenty-odd people, one vehicle and a deadline that doesn’t move. None of it was done alone.
Built by Team Velociraptors of MVJ College of Engineering for FMAE BAJA Season 3.
