Today marks the end of my Internship journey at Tesla, As a Global Supply Chain Intern, I built from scratch and launched an official system driven VA/VE program (Value Analysis/Value engineering), resulting in the investigation of USD17.2M potential annual cost savings and the actualization of USD7.3M annual savings. Additionally, I provided and implemented outsourcing solutions for a part that is projected to save Tesla owners USD3.2M in repair costs. In parallel, I took ownership and managed global sourcing of extruded Aluminum components of an upcoming program, and negotiated USD190K cost reduction in prototype builds. Here’s to a brilliant Aluminum Extrusions team David Yoon, Chad Knight, MBA, Angel Yin, Michael Meeth and Castings! ? In my first role as an Operations and Analysis Intern, I created automated workflows and processes to efficiently collect data, resulting in a 100% reduction in manual labor hours. This wouldn’t have been possible without the guidance of Alvin Ramos, Samantha Berry, Faith Njunge and Michael Billett Jr., MBA. ? Grateful and enthusiastic for my next chapter. ? #Tesla #sustainability

3 years ago, I failed my A-Levels. Now, I'm in Propulsion Engineering at JLR. Aug 2021 was a nightmare. I know there'll be a lot of "I'm pleased to share..." on here so I thought I would tell my story and how I recovered to help uplift any disheartened students who think they've "messed it all up" or there's nothing they can do to fix their career trajectory. This'll be much more informal, since I'm speaking to students about my own personal experience. My A-Levels started in 2019. A hard set of subjects that always elicited some sort of reaction when people asked me what I was doing in college. COVID hit; the brunt of it was spread over my 2 years and I wasn't disciplined enough to study the way I should have nor did I have the foresight to see how it would come back to bite me. I spent my time on things that didn't matter and my work ethic deteriorated. I was the worst version of myself. The exams came in 2021, and despite the fact half the content was removed to compensate for COVID, I missed both Uni offers, and the grades I got were massively boosted because my teachers liked me, since it was at their discretion that year. In reality, my work was ungradable. When everything is riding on these results, it can feel like the world is crumbling around you and your self-image takes a massive hit. I imagine that's how a lot of you feel right now. So now you're wondering, how did I go from ungradable A-Level work to a job at JLR between Y2 & 3 of an engineering degree? Simple, I tried again. I knew, deep down, that no matter what excuse I made, I failed because I did not work hard enough. I could blame COVID, I could blame my teachers, I could even try to blame the government, but I knew that in my case it was my fault and that I could do better. So, I made the executive decision to go against family advice and resit Year 13. I won't lie to you, it wasn't pleasant. I was very lonely, in a terrible state of mind, doubtful on whether I had made the right choice and deeply ashamed of myself. But, I knuckled down and got to work. I worked and worked and worked because I had to learn and put into practice 2 years of academic content in 7 1/2 months. It was worth it. In the end, I went from essentially UUU, to ABB. A drastic change. Nothing miraculous, no A*A*A*, but enough to prove to myself I could do more if I applied myself, and enough to restart my life in what I deemed the right direction. I started studying Mechanical Engineering at Lancaster University, made friends for life, founded and ran a society that teaches engineering to 100+ Year 1 students and am aiming for a 1:1. Knuckle down mate, and go again. "Lock in" if you will. It's a rough day, it'll be a rough few months, it could be a rough year. But try again if you KNOW you could've done better, because I swear to you, it's worth it. Anything is possible if you work hard enough. There is light at the end of the tunnel, even if you can't see it yet. #alevels2024 #resits

2023 flew by so fast I had no time to post an update. It has been yet another remarkable year for me as I completed my third internship with Tesla in August. My first 2 stints with Tesla were so fun and transformative I decided to look for my next supercharged adventure! My ultimate target was Vehicle Engineering. In my pursuit for a new adventure I met Trina and shared why I wanted to take on the unique challenge of being a PM on the Drive Systems Engineering Team. I was chosen shortly after interviewing with Sakthivel, Tasha, and Abhijit. Thank you all and Noelle for creating a seamless onboarding experience! The experiences I gained were invaluable. I learned the management side of Automotive Engineering by owning some of the coolest high-value projects! It was an absolute roller coaster. There were many hard lessons to learn. The stakes were high as I knew my response would ultimately define my value. The realities of ambitious challenges dawned on me as the pressures of leading programs for a time-sensitive mission-focused company grew super intense. Questioning the value of each decision. Pushing the boundaries of excellence. Taking calculated risks. Agile decision-making. Lean approaches. All were key! It was profoundly enriching to learn from the intense culture pioneered by Elon Musk. I yielded to his "fail fast learn fast" approach to quickly solve problems! Thank you Sakthivel, Mahathi, Shaheryar, Jeffrey, and Tasha for your mentorship, guidance, the opportunities, and all the electrifying adventures! This experience was more exhilarating and augmentative than I could've ever imagined. I'll never forget the people I met, friends I made, and lessons I learned. I've now resumed my schooling and I'm aiming to master new skills, perfect existing ones, kick off new endeavors, and help others pursue their dreams. That said, I'll be sharing some cool and exciting updates with you all very soon. So stay tuned, take care and plough through 2024 with heart! #tesla #teslalife #teslainterns2023 #internship #ev #evs #electricvehicles #cars #future #innovation #ambition #electricvehiclesarethefuture #testing #automotive #engineering #powertrain #driveunits #drivesystems #drivetrain #systemsengineering #mechanicalengineering #manufacturing #sustainability
