I am a multidisciplinary engineer and applied researcher with over four years of experience in design, automation, computer vision and consulting, supported by a strong background in mechanical and mechatronics engineering.
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 offers for full time technical, leadership and managerial roles across "Defense/Space, Telecommunications, Materials, Industrial automation (Logistics, Warehousing, and Agriculture), and Software (Machine Learning & Computer Vision)" domains and for research positions in India, UK & Germany, with a collecitve offer valuations of 320K USD (2021-2025, did not pursue every offer, due to other commitments).
I follow my personal 6P principle (Projects -> Prototypes -> Presentations -> Products -> Publications -> Patents) to cover the complete spectrum of innovation and research.
Interested in collaborating with me? Kindly contact me.

Founded HECPAA AIM (OPC) PVT LTD to address structural gaps in access to global higher education, particularly the reliance of traditional education financing models on family financial background, co-applicants, and collaterals. Existing national and international banks and NBFCs often exclude academically capable students due to rigid eligibility constraints, independent of merit or long term potential.
The objective was to explore a merit driven ecosystem that could connect eligible students to suitable universities while enabling full coverage education financing (tuition and living expenses) without co-applicants or collateral, and without restricting students to a narrow set of institutions and courses. The initiative focused on understanding systemic constraints across education consulting, student financing, and institutional partnerships, rather than short term placement outcomes. My responsibilities as a single founder include,
- Provided higher educaiton consulting services to students and professionals.
- Performed all the root management activities along with sales and marketing of the company.
- Conducted recruitment drive for multiple roles across the venture.
- Developed a static website representing business approaches, services offered etc.
- Closed the company to proceed with my higher educaiton pursuits.
