About

As a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate at IIT Madras, I thrive at the intersection of engineering, artificial intelligence, and computational modeling. My work spans from developing neural operator models for solving complex PDEs in aerospace applications, to crafting user-centric web platforms and engaging UI/UX designs for national-level programming events. Driven by curiosity, I enjoy translating real-world engineering problems into data-driven solutions—whether that means simulating 10,000+ Poisson equation solutions for research, building machine learning pipelines to predict material properties, or designing scalable, accessible web interfaces. My diverse project experience equips me to bridge the gap between mechanical systems and intelligent software, with a keen interest in aerospace, robotics, and emerging intelligent systems. I am actively seeking opportunities to apply my computational, engineering, and creative skills to impactful projects in aerospace, robotics, intelligent systems, and technology-driven innovation. If you are looking for a passionate problem-solver who blends engineering rigor with a creative approach—let’s connect!
