Sam Varghese

I’m a Mechanical Engineering graduate with hands-on experience across aerospace propulsion, autonomous flight systems, and geospatial engineering. I enjoy moving from design to experimental validation while keeping performance, safety, and structural integrity front and center.

In my internship at Unlox Academy, I designed and developed an optimized autonomous quadcopter, using Fusion 360 topology optimization to maximize strength-to-weight ratio. I configured autopilot firmware and Mission Planner for automated takeoff, waypoint navigation, and landing, and added multi-layered failsafes like Return-to-Launch, low-battery triggers, and geofencing.

At Aryan Group, I worked as a GIS Engineer, applying GIS and remote sensing workflows for spatial analysis and data-driven planning. I processed raw geospatial data to generate DEMs, topographic contours, and georeferenced orthomosaics, then built multi-layered GIS maps under QA/QC standards to support cross-functional project planning.

My technical projects reflect my engineering approach—designing for real-world constraints and validating behavior experimentally. I developed a thrust vector control system for a finless rocket configuration (including ESP32 + MPU6050 IMU integration) and designed a heavy-duty leaf spring chassis using iterative stress and structural load simulation; I also bring leadership experience from captaining national-level athletic teams.
