Mechanical engineering student at SPCE Mumbai who built autonomous robots and integrated subsystems for an automated tea vending machine.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Robocon Club – SPCE, Mumbai, I led the mechanical team that won Rank 1 and Rank 3 at local Robocon 2024 competitions. I delivered competition-ready robots using CAD modelling, motor and gearing design, and sensor integration.
At Vendit Automation Private Limited, I delivered three functional subsystems for an autonomous tea vending machine prototype: an automated strainer cleaning system, a waste removal mechanism, and a refrigeration unit. I also developed a zero-fastener snap-fit motor mount and worked on the refrigeration unit’s coil calculations and assembly.
I’ve built working prototypes including an automated copper coiling machine and a contactless electromagnetic hammering machine. On the e-Yantra Robotics Competition project, I implemented autonomous path planning, object detection, and obstacle avoidance; I’m also operating a 3D printing service through Concept 2 Reality.
