What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my engineering skills and creativity to impactful projects.

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar. My academic journey has been marked by a strong commitment to excellence, as reflected in my CGPA of 8.69/10. I have gained valuable experience through internships and projects that have honed my skills in mechanical system design and user experience design.

During my internship at Mercedes Benz, I assisted senior engineers in analyzing automotive components, which deepened my understanding of vehicle diagnostics and engineering solutions. Additionally, my role as a Product Designer for the Women’s Safety App allowed me to conduct UX research and design a user-friendly interface, showcasing my ability to merge technical skills with user-centered design principles. I am particularly proud of receiving the Dr. Elizabeth and Dr. Verkey Cherian Award for my research contributions at SURGE IIT Kanpur, which underscores my dedication to innovation in engineering.
