What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build end-to-end robotics, embedded, AI, and mechanical systems where I can turn concepts into practical prototypes and contribute to real-world products.

I'm developing surgical robotic systems as a Robotics and AI Research Associate at BITS Goa, including a patent-pending cost-optimized laparoscopic surgical manipulator with a dual-arc telescopic mechanism.

At Josephinum Research Austria, I worked on agricultural software development. I also built a 5-DOF robotic teleoperation controller, an automated stair-climbing wheelchair with voice commands, and an AI-powered drone for forest monitoring.

My work spans Fusion 360 mechanical design, PCB design, embedded systems, robotics, computer vision, and cross-platform application development. I take ideas from concept through prototyping and manufacturing using 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and design for manufacturing.

I've also built RainGauge, a web platform for estimating rainwater-harvesting potential, savings, ROI, and recommended systems based on location and roof characteristics.
