About

I'm Stefan Ilie, a Year 12 student engineering my way toward a role as a Formula 1 Aerodynamic Design Engineer. I've just started my BTEC Level 3 Engineering National Extended Diploma and my first project — a redesign of an F1 rear wing and DRS concept — alongside certifications in CFD aerodynamic simulation and life as a motorsport engineer.

This archive documents the process behind each project: the concept, the sketch, and the simulation. Every entry is built to be interrogated, not just admired.
