Summary

Motorsport has been a lifelong passion, leading me to pursue a MEng in Aero-Mechanical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde and actively participate in Formula Student. This has provided hands-on experience in areas like aerodynamics, vehicle performance, and drivetrain systems, allowing me to combine technical expertise with strong teamwork and communication skills. In parallel, I'm pursuing my ambition to become a professional pilot, self-funding my PPL training. A career in motorsport aligns with my technical interests and showcases my drive, discipline, and determination to excel in demanding, high-performance environments.
