SCROLL TO EXPLORE

From mathematical models
to real-world systems.

My background spans mechanical engineering, robotics research, and production-floor validation. I enjoy working across the full engineering lifecycle—from understanding system dynamics and developing algorithms to integrating hardware and diagnosing failures.

I completed my M.S. in Robotics and Autonomous Systems at Arizona State University and my B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Tirupati. My work includes autonomous UAVs, multi-robot systems, robot control, computer vision, and manufacturing reliability.

Where I've contributed.

Engineering experience across robotics production, academic research, teaching, and mechanical systems.

From research laboratories to production floors, I focus on connecting technical work with measurable system outcomes.

Connect with me

Supporting production quality, subsystem reliability, and electromechanical validation for consumer robotic systems.

  • Executed high-volume robotic component QA with 91.25% compliance and performed root cause analysis on seal failures to inform assembly corrective actions.
  • Validated sensor and mechanical reliability through multi-surface track testing and outgoing quality control of mop, vacuum, and motor subsystems.
  • Refined assembly and integration SOPs, precision tooling, and troubleshooting workflows in collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.

Precision Landing on a Moving Platform

Developed an autonomous landing system for a Parrot Mambo using RGB platform detection, Stateflow-based flight sequencing, and motion prediction. The drone tracked a moving platform and adjusted its trajectory to coordinate descent.
