What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead product and program work in drones, aviation, or deep-tech, where I can connect technical delivery with customer needs, business strategy, and real-world deployment.

I lead multi-division drone and eVTOL programs, connecting engineering delivery with operations, partnerships, and product strategy.

As Team Captain at Team SAMMPAATI, I run end-to-end execution for 40 members across four national and international competition programs. I built milestone tracking and weekly review systems, while securing funding and prototype-testing access through partnerships with two Indian industry leaders.

I delivered and field-tested a three-platform drone system with the Indian Army EME, completing full delivery and trials in 10 days during a compressed engagement. That work surfaced the first-responder gap that became AeroDOCK, an autonomous dock-based drone incident-response platform.

I've also led aerodynamics for a hydrogen-PEMFC eVTOL program commended by AIRBUS officials and co-built AeroCALC, cutting aircraft-sizing iterations from 14 days to 2 days. I bring structured execution, market analysis, unit economics, and stakeholder coordination to complex aviation and drone products.
