Close the switch to start.
A SEPIC converter is a type of DC-DC converter whose output voltage can be any arbitrary positive voltage. In other words, it's output voltage can be greater than, lesser than or equal to the input voltage.

That’s awesome! Could I ask why you used the current source into the BJT instead of just a current source as a load though?

A current source used directly as a load won't behave as a real load as an ideal current source will do whatever it has to in order to pull the set current. In order to do that, it ends up behaving like a generator and not as a load. However, using a BJT the way I did represents a real load as it never behaves like a generator and always like a load.
