What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on aerospace roles focused on propulsion, CAD/CAE design, and UAV development in collaborative, research-driven teams that value prototyping, technical growth, and measurable operational impact.

I am an aerospace engineering graduate with hands-on experience in propulsion simulations, CAD/CAE modeling, and UAV prototyping. I interned at the Advanced Systems Laboratory, DRDO, where I developed and validated ANSYS APDL code, optimized internal ballistics and casing design for rocket motors, and ensured compliance with ASME Section VIII standards.

I have applied engineering skills to industry and operations—at Grant Thornton Bharat LLP I managed vendor information, optimized vendor machine allocation to reduce a 10-day delivery delay by 50%, developed a data-driven spare parts strategy calculating Reorder Points and Safety Stock using Excel, and supervised a team of six vendor-side personnel. As a freelance financial assistant I supported client meetings and helped recover ₹2 crore for a client.

I lead hands-on projects such as a Mini Airship manufacturing effort where I managed a team of four, designed structural frameworks in SolidWorks, and researched aerodynamics, materials, and propulsion systems. I bring proficiency in SolidWorks, CATIA V6, ANSYS APDL, OpenMotor, BurnSim, MATLAB and advanced Excel, along with leadership, problem-solving, and a strong work ethic.
