At Jatayu Unmanned Technologies Limited, I developed an AI-based drone detection system using deep learning during my internship. I also simulated an autonomous interceptor drone with ROS2 and Gazebo, including dynamic analysis.

At NMAM Institute of Technology, where I'm studying Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, I’m designing an autonomous hexacopter for emergency medical supply delivery. The project includes navigation, obstacle avoidance, payload release, and flight control integration.

I’ve also developed projects including CertiBlock, a blockchain-based certificate verification system, and QueueLess, a government service queue management platform. For a human-following robot, I worked with sensor fusion, computer vision, and embedded control algorithms.

As a core member of AeroClub Nitte, I contribute to aeromodelling and autonomous drone projects, and take part in drone assembly, calibration, and flight-testing workshops. My competition experience includes reaching the Top 30 at KnowCode 3.0 and earning 2nd place at Wright Flight 2025.
