Leading 68 engineers across four subteams to design, build, and race an electric vehicle in a single season — from technical decisions and budgets to sponsors and the business pitch that placed 4th in Europe.
Building a Formula Student EV isn't one project, it's four running in parallel — Mechanical, Electrical, Design, and Business, each with its own deadlines, feeding into one car that either works or doesn't.
As captain, my job was making sure all four stayed aligned: same timeline, same budget, same standard, with sponsors and a business case behind the whole effort. I also worked hands-on inside the Business subteam.
Weighing in across the vehicle build, from chassis to powertrain integration.
Project planning, budgeting, and documentation for the whole season.
Managed and maintained communications with sponsors including Tesla and SARBS Communications LTD.
Kept Business, Mechanical, Electrical, and Design aligned to one timeline.
Worked directly inside the Business subteam, including the Formula Student Switzerland pitch.
Ultimate accountability for a season-long build with a hard competition deadline.
