Chief Vehicle Dynamics
Ever since I was a kid, the Dream Teams always inspired me. Getting together with a group of aspiring engineers to push toward a bigger goal. I'm super excited to be a part of that this year and play my part.
As Chief Vehicle Dynamics, I'm responsible for making sure everything related to steering, foiling, and propulsion actually clicks together. That means keeping the big picture in sight, but also diving straight into the details when things get technical. I coordinate with the team, check that our designs work together in practice, and keep an eye on the schedule so the boat's ready on time. Working with such a driven bunch, tackling challenges side by side, and celebrating the wins along the way will make this year at Hydro Motion unforgettable.
