As Project Manager, I oversee the planning, organization, and execution of our car's development to stay on track and meet critical deadlines. My role involves managing timelines, resources, and team coordination to deliver a competitive vehicle on schedule.

 

One of my primary responsibilities is creating and maintaining the project schedule. I track progress across all subsystems, identify potential delays, and work with subsystem leads to implement solutions that minimize disruptions. With this schedule, the team is able to meet deadlines while maintaining the quality and performance standards expected of Michigan Racing. Another key part of my role is resource allocation. I oversee the distribution of materials, tools, and budget across the team. This involves careful budgeting, tracking expenses, and occasionally making tough decisions to balance competing priorities. Another aspect of my role is communication. I facilitate regular team meetings and maintain communication between subsystems, and act as a bridge between technical leads and team leadership. 

 

My goal as Project Manager is to guide the team toward to create a car that not only performs at a high level but also reflects the dedication, innovation, and teamwork of every member. Success in my role means not just delivering a finished car, but helping the team grow and excel together.
