When I joined UW Formula’s firmware team, I was given two main projects: The D2C (Digital to CAN) boards and the dashboard. Throughout the year, I absorbed so much knowledge from my team members, ranging from technical to mechanical. As a computer science major joining the team, I only knew how to interact with electronics at an extremely top level. I never anticipated that I would have learned the skills necessary to interact with PCBs so directly, along with creating wiring harnesses, interacting with inverter interfaces, and much more. The invaluable hands-on experience is something that I’m truly grateful for.
