I build robotics systems that deploy in the real world — from PCB design to clinical validation. Not just prototypes. Seven iterations. 100+ patient deployments. Patented. Funded. Validated by clinicians.

Computer Vision // Haptic Feedback // Deep Learning
When COVID made in-person dermatology impossible, I built a system combining CNN-based visual classification with a custom non-Newtonian 40×40mm pressure sensor array for 4D tactile-visual lesion profiling. Microsoft Imagine Cup Winner. ISEF 4th Place Grand Award.

Kinematics // Path Planning // Embedded Control
FTC/WRO competition robots with encoder-based Cartesian path planning, Bézier trajectory smoothing, 7-DoF inverse kinematics solving gimbal lock, computer vision field mapping, and physics-based projectile trajectory control. CNC-machined aluminum chassis.
004
Engineering Leadership // Community Impact
Founded a competitive robotics program in one of the world's largest informal settlements. The hard part wasn't the robots — it was convincing families their children's time was better spent on engineering than wage labor. Six years later: 200+ students, original members now in healthcare and engineering.

// About
I grew up in a Waldorf school — hands-on learning, understanding before application. Ask why before how. I won't move forward until the understanding feels complete. That's not caution; it's how I avoid building things that fail.
At 9 I was building LEGO robots for national championships. By 16 I was designing PCBs. By 18 I had a patent, angel funding, and a device deployed in physiotherapy clinics across Mumbai. The through-line is always the same: build until it works under real constraints, not just lab conditions.
I'm graduating from UMass Amherst in May 2026 with a dual degree in Computer Science and Mathematics (Statistics/Data Science). I'm looking for full-time roles in medical robotics, embedded systems, or applied ML — anywhere the work has to survive contact with the real world.
"Design within constraints rather than bypassing them. Build systems that complement human expertise, not replace it."
