As my engineering expertise grew through personal projects and participation in FSAE, I began designing products that would not only enhance the performance of my project car but could also be offered to others in resolving issues and improving their own vehicle’s performance. My first and primary product was the B58 Coilpack conversion kit, which has found its way into the hands of enthusiasts all around the globe. It has been shipped to customers in numerous countries, spanning from Germany and Poland in Europe to places as far-flung as Thailand in Asia. Starting with a conversion kit for the BMW E36, I have since created multiple versions of the kit to accommodate a few different vehicle models and engines.
Venturing into product sales provided me with invaluable insights into the intricacies of business operations, including aspects such as marketing, financial management, order fulfillment, and customer support. As the sole proprietor of the enterprise, the responsibility was on my shoulders to ensure that customers received the utmost satisfaction. Recognizing the substantial time commitment required for order fulfillment and customer service, I explored innovative approaches to streamline processes and enhance efficiency.
Using my coding knowledge and passion for optimal operation, I initiated the development of Python scripts to automate various business tasks. These scripts not only saved me valuable time in managing the business but also laid the foundation for scalability. Being a full-time engineering student actively engaged in various extracurricular activities, concurrently running a business required the automation of the majority of processes to make it sustainable and manageable.
