Project Manager

Eileen, The Pearl Peacock

In 2019, my team and I set out to turn my 1997 Honda Civic into a giant peacock art car in honor of my grandmother, Eileen. Check out the podcast about it here.

My responsibilities as project manager included:

  • Design the dozens of custom parts and assembly in CAD

  • Organize the team through thousands of man-hours in dozens of build sessions

  • Custom fabrication including MIG welding

  • Implement custom electrical system to power LEDs and sound system

  • Create fundraising videos, manage the campaign, and track the budget of over $20k

  • Write code in MATLAB and Javascript for use in microcontrollers to program outputs of thousands of LEDs

  • Continue to manage the regular maintenance and upgrades since 2019
