What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in engineering where I can innovate and grow.

I am a dedicated B.Tech Mechanical Engineering student at the National Institute of Technology Durgapur, with a strong academic record and a CGPA of 7.84. My hands-on experience includes a summer internship at Tata Motors, where I tackled AC gas leakage issues in trucks, enhancing vehicle performance through effective problem-solving. Additionally, I contributed to groundbreaking research at IIT Guwahati on a piezoelectric energy harvester, showcasing my commitment to renewable energy solutions.

Beyond my technical skills, I have demonstrated leadership as a Project Management Associate at Excelerate, where I successfully led a global hackathon. My role as a Citizen Scientist for NASA's Planet Four project has further honed my analytical skills, allowing me to contribute to planetary science. I am passionate about applying my knowledge and skills to real-world challenges, driving innovation and efficiency in engineering projects.
