3rd year comp sci @ uc santa cruz. i do data and simulation for formula slug, ucsc's fsae electric race car team. long term i want to work in motorsport, ideally formula 1.

interests: vehicle dynamics and simulation · data analysis and machine learning · game dev · film and documentary

what i'm working on

• yaw rate modeling: building a physics model of how the car rotates (steering, speed, tire loads) and validating it against logged fs-3 data
• driver-in-loop sim: dashboard, cameras, lap screen and sound for our unity driving simulator

things i've built

• laptime sim: a quasi-steady-state laptime simulator for formula slug, plus research docs on sim methods
• fault detection: xgboost model predicting motor controller fault events from telemetry (the hard part: super imbalanced classes)

tools: python · pandas · numpy · matplotlib · jupyter · xgboost · unity · html · git · github · linux · adobe
