Career

Ford Performance - Team Penske (2017-Present)

I am currently working for Ford Performance, based in Charlotte, North Carolina. I’m involved in a variety of projects, but was initially 100% embedded with Team Penske supporting aerodynamic development of their Cup series race cars. Find more details on my tenure with Ford Performance and Team Penske here.

My career in motorsports began with a Praktikum at Audi Sport in Neuburg an der Donau, Germany. I was positioned in the aerodynamics department, primarily supporting in-house CFD methods and development. Most of my work involved supporting the R18 program, but I also supported DTM when needed. Highlights of my work at Audi Sport can be found here.

I completed a 14 month internship at the publicly owned Pickering Nuclear Generating Station as a security systems engineer. I primarily developed code to analyze large datasets that indicated when preventative maintenance schedules needed to be updated or parts needed to be replaced. Find more information here.

Acedemic Research (2016-2019)

I have an MASc in Fluid Dynamics, specializing in low-speed (subsonic) separated flows and accelerating flows. My research involved experimentally rigorous methods and resulted in multiple publications. See more information here.

Personal Projects

Given the data centric skill-set I’ve developed, I have tried apply my knowledge to explore some personal interests. I built a server for my home office and use it for various ongoing projects. Click here for more details.

Other Interests

I have a few hobbies that are near and dear to me, and I feel very privileged to have done a lot of traveling. Like any good Canadian, I am a huge fan of playing and watching hockey. Click here to see more.
