The Mindset Aviation demands strict procedural execution and absolute validation. You do not test new systems while in the air; you validate them in a simulator first. I bring this exact mindset to embedded systems and EV powertrain engineering. My ultimate goal is to engineer a 300V custom electric motorcycle equipped with CCS Type 2 fast charging from the ground up.

The Strategy Building a 76V physical powertrain taught me that debugging control logic on live, high-current hardware is tedious and dangerous. To build a 300V system safely, I realized I needed a way to test firmware without physical contactors. That is why I built the EVO vHIL framework: to simulate high-voltage EV control systems and validate firmware purely in software before it ever touches physical hardware.

Current Focus I am currently expanding the EVO vHIL simulation architecture while simultaneously engineering the physical hardware and bare-metal firmware for the custom 300V Battery Management System (BMS).

End goal — 300V custom electric motorcycle · CCS Type 2 fast charging · full-stack hardware + firmware, designed and validated from scratch.
