Halfway through my time at MIT, I got looped into motorsports by some friends and it turned out to be one of the best experiences during my time at school. I got to learn invaluable hands-on experience through design, prototyping, manufacturing, and testing.

MY24 - Powertrain Manufacturing#
I joined the MIT Motorsports team over IAP during my junior year to further pursue my passion for hands-on mechanical engineering. During that short first term on the team, I gained loads of experience and knowledge about Siemens NX, CNC manufacturing, powder coating, and much more.
The leaning curve with a new CAD and CAM software was steep but with the help of very supportive team members and friends I was able to get up and running very quickly during crunch time for powertrain manufacturing.
While I had previous academic experience in CNC CAM with my 2.008 project, motorsports really taught me the entire process such as prepping stock, setting up the tools in the CNC, ways to locate on a part for multiple operations, and various stock mounting methods.
