About Me

Hey! My name is Louis, I love cars, and everything engineering. A former electrical harness lead on Concordia Formula Racing, I have extensive experience in the realm of automotive engineering. I'm interested in cars, planes, rockets, trains, and everything in between. I'm also interested in pursuing higher education, through research.

Projects

Formula Steering Wheel Paddle System

ESP32-based dual clutch paddle concept with hall sensors and Bluetooth for responsive control and lightweight packaging.

Concordia Formula Racing CFR25

Electrical harness design and integration workflow for dynamic race conditions, emphasizing reliability and serviceability. Made and reviewed custom PCB using Altium Designer. Mechanical manufacturing of adjustable push-rod suspension and CAM for carbon fiber suspension inserts.

TEG-Powered Electric Vehicle

Thermocar thermoelectric vehicle prototype Thermocar thermoelectric vehicle prototype 2

Developed a thermoelectric-powered vehicle that converts heat into motion using the Seebeck effect. The design integrates thermal management (candle + heatsink), low-power motor selection, and drivetrain optimization to achieve efficient energy conversion and successfully complete a flat run and incline climb.
