What I'm looking for

I am looking for hands-on product or hardware roles where I can prototype, design for manufacturability, lead UI/visual design, and mentor teammates in a collaborative, impact-driven environment.

I am a Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science B.Tech. (Hons) candidate at IIT Bombay, graduating 2025, with a strong academic record and department rank 1. I combine deep technical understanding with hands-on prototyping and product-design experience.

I have led design for large open-source educational software and built hardware prototypes — including a sensor-grid foot planter device for diabetic neuropathy — using custom circuits and Arduino programming. My projects emphasize usability, manufacturability, and cost-effective repair.

My technical toolkit spans Python, C++, Arduino, MySQL, HTML/CSS and design tools like Fusion 360 and Figma, and I bring practical experience in UI/visual identity creation, testing, and optimization. I have delivered technical reports and seminar work on semiconductor miniaturization (FinFET) and authored detailed analyses.

I contribute actively as a teaching assistant and mentor, and I have received multiple academic awards and scholarships including Institute Academic Prize and the Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation Certificate of Excellence. I seek roles where I can drive product development from concept to prototype while mentoring teams and improving user impact.
