Your Fall 2023 Leads

Alastair - Technical Lead Alastair Correya

Hey everyone! I’m Alastair and I’m currently in 3B of Computer Engineering. I’ve been a part of Midnight Sun since September 2020 and can certainly say it’s been a rewarding experience since then. I hope to meet a bunch of y’all online as well as on-campus for a bunch of onsite work (or just randomly for fun)

Talk to Me About

  • Any questions you have about the car

  • Any crazy idea you might have! I would love to learn more

  • Sports

  • Pop music

  • How The Office gets funnier each time you watch it

Talk to Me About

here is one of my evil birds

Nita - Advisor (Former Technical Lead)Nita E

About Me
Hi, I’m Nita and I have been on the hardware team since January of 2019. I just graduated ECE this past year. I somehow became a lead by sticking around long enough and not breaking too much stuff, so that’s pretty cool.

I have worked on charger interface, power select, and all of the lights boards for MSXIV since joining.

I look forward to meeting all of you this term!

Talk to Me About

  • General questions (system overview, manufacturing, tasks etc.)

  • Job hunting

  • ECE stuff/electrical hardware theory

  • Killer robots

  • Balkan Brass, Melodic Death Metal, or Synthwave

Skills to Thrive on the Subteam

  • Eagerness to learn

  • Willingness to learn/being persistent → hardware is a learning curve but overcoming it is rewarding

  • Time management - working on a design team and school is always a balancing act

  • Interest in electrical systems and manufacturing
