Hi, I'm Brians 👋

Team Vice Captain & Powertrain Lead

• Lead a 12-engineer powertrain division across four sub-teams — low voltage, high voltage, accumulator, and tractive systems & cooling — owning electrical hardware, embedded firmware, and packaging of the drivetrain.
• Direct overall team strategy and operations, coordinating powertrain, chassis, and software sub-teams against fixed competition deadlines.
• Set technical direction and review design decisions across LV/HV electrical, accumulator, and thermal management workstreams.

Low Voltage Engineer

• Engineered an active brake regeneration system blending rear mechanical braking with electrical recovery, returning −98.5 A peak current to the battery pack and achieving ~46% total energy recovery.
• Architected the vehicle's full LV electrical system, including STM32-based embedded controllers, power/IO interfaces, and 12 V DC-DC converters.
• Designed and managed the car's 1 Mbps CAN network spanning 39 sensors across aerodynamics, suspension, and braking, optimising bus traffic to eliminate dropped messages and command latency.
• Implemented 100 Hz onboard data logging, giving the team high-resolution data to coach drivers on braking points and racing lines.
• Designed and fabricated 4 custom PCBs, validating and deploying 2 mission-critical boards onto the car.
• Selected, integrated, and calibrated the car's sensor and actuator network, and owned the LV power budget across all subsystems.
• Built an STM32F4 driver dashboard on FreeRTOS with steering-wheel buttons and selector knobs, letting drivers adjust current limits and regenerative braking mid-lap.
• Programmed MoTeC M150 ECU firmware for launch control, real-time CAN broadcasting, and vehicle dynamics management.
• Built a live telemetry pipeline streaming 15 CAN IDs to an AWS server over a SIM7600G LTE modem, delivering 10 updates/second at under 100 ms end-to-end latency.
• Developed a Next.js telemetry web app with live data plotting, thermal tracking, and ML-based energy estimation, giving race engineers actionable thermal-limit and endurance-pacing guidance.
• Manufactured fully waterproofed, automotive-grade wiring harnesses validated against race vibration, heat, and weather exposure.
• Packaged and integrated the BSPD, sensor network, and custom dashboard alongside mechanical, software, and vehicle dynamics teams.

Publicity Manager

• Managed the team's digital presence across five platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, strengthening engagement with sponsors, alumni, and prospective members.
• Designed and maintained the official team website, ensuring up-to-date content on sponsorships, recruitment, team structure, galleries, and announcements.
• Developed visual branding assets, including the official team jersey, aligning with sponsor requirements and team identity.
• Executed content strategies to increase visibility, outreach, and sponsor value.
