I am a multidisciplinary engineer and applied researcher with four years of experience in design, automation, computer vision and consulting, supported by a strong background in mechanical and mechatronics engineering, co authored multiple patents in base station antennas and mechanical ventilators.

My work focuses on developing intelligent and scalable technologies that address real world challenges in space, defense, energy, robotics, and human machine collaboration. Driven by hands on expertise, I have secured full time leadership and managerial roles across defense/space, telecommunications, industrial automation (logistics, warehousing, and agriculture), and software domains in India, as well as sponsored research positions in robotics and automation in Germany.


I follow my personal 6P principle (Projects -> Prototypes -> Presentations -> Products -> Publications -> Patents) to cover the complete spectrum of innovation and research.
