Hello, I'm
Javid Alasti
Engineer and maker. I like building things with my hands — electric vehicles, race cars, and whatever else ends up in the garage. Below is a collection of the projects I've worked on outside of my day job.
Projects
BOLT at Virginia Tech
Integration lead for Virginia Tech's electric superbike race team — battery module design, test benches, and PCB work across three generations.
Electric Moped
A ground-up electric vehicle build — the utility of a moped with the design of a motorcycle. Currently in progress.
Car Restoration
A pandemic project: restoring a 1960s Chevrolet Corvair from a rough survivor car to a fresh coat of paint.
Internship: Terabase
Two summers at Terabase Energy, prototyping robotics for a mobile factory that assembles industrial-scale solar installations on site.
Delivery Kart
A custom electric delivery vehicle, built with a friend for a local farmer who'd been delivering produce with an e-bike and trailer.
Older Projects
A grab-bag of earlier builds, mostly from high school — go-karts, minibikes, an electric scooter, and more.
