SAI SIDDHARTH
@saisiddharth
Aspiring mechanical engineer with a focus on innovative design solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate mechanical engineering student at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, where I have honed my skills in design and innovation. As the President of the Entrepreneurship Cell, I have led initiatives that foster creativity and collaboration among students. My academic journey has been marked by significant achievements, including being ranked first in my department for my engineering design project and delivering talks at prestigious conferences.
My hands-on experience includes leading the powertrain team at Team Yukta Racing, where I implemented advanced computational techniques to enhance vehicle performance. I have also interned at National Aerospace Laboratories, where I conducted critical research on composite materials, and at Karthik Engineering, where I developed automated systems for design optimization. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my participation in national and international competitions, where I have consistently achieved top rankings.
