My Journey

Every engineer has a launchpad. Here’s a look back at the key milestones, late-night workshop builds, and pivotal career steps that shaped how I design and solve problems today.

Engineering Foundations

2017 - 2021

Four years of mechanical engineering gave me a sharp eye for detail and a deep love for hands-on problem solving. From leading powertrain design on student vehicle teams to publishing research on hydraulic dynamometers, I spent my college years turning theoretical formulas into functional, physical builds. It laid the exact foundation I needed: a mindset built on speed, precision, and an endless curiosity for how things move.

Infieon Supermileage (Shell Eco-Marathon)

2019-2021

As Powertrain Lead, I designed and fabricated a custom reverse clutch mechanism: essentially engineering our vehicle to run smarter, not harder. After endless iterations and track testing, our vehicle clocked 142.8 kmpl at the Shell Eco-Marathon event. That’s more mileage than a commuter motorcycle, a hatchback, and most road cars combined. Beyond the raw stats, this project taught me how to lead a high-stakes engineering team, make split-second design calls under track pressure, and ship functional prototypes fast.

2008 Honda Civic Modification

My 2008 Honda Civic was never just a daily driver: it was a blank canvas begging for personality. I dove headfirst into custom modifications, swapping bumpers, redesigning the front fascia, and upgrading to custom projector headlights. Every bolt tightened and wire routed was a hands-on crash course in automotive styling, practical problem-solving, and clean wiring execution. It turned a stock budget find into a custom head-turner that proves great design is built, not bought.

Innovating and Leading

Teaching CAD and EV manufacturing to young engineers feels a lot like pulling back the curtain on technology: except the magic is real, and occasionally sparks actually fly. Guiding students through 3D modeling, design optimization, and hands-on assembly, I get to watch curiosity transform into real industrial capability. It is deeply rewarding to help build curriculum with institutions like IFACET, IIT Kanpur, shaping a next generation of engineers who will design sleeker, smarter, and more efficient electric vehicles.

Continuous Evolution

Present

Engineering never stands still, and neither do I. Today, I am combining my core background in mechanical design and EV development with advanced AI tools, parametric CAD workflows, and modern web platforms. Whether I am engineering physical products or building digital design systems, my goal remains constant: turning complex technical challenges into sleek, high-performing solutions.
