About

I started programming in seventh grade, scribbling code into notebooks because the family computer crashed too often to trust it with unsaved work. I don't claim to have special intelligence; my progress stems from relentless hard work and a Feynman-like enthusiasm for figuring things out. I spent high school tracking down anyone who could teach me how model rockets actually fly. On my first day at Pandit Deendayal Energy University, that zeal turned into a research assistantship: a professor building a real-time monitoring system for 3D printing biocompatible magnesium implants took a chance on a first-year who clearly wanted in. Starting research on day one was a lucky head start, and I haven't stopped running since.

My guiding rule is simple: I only pursue what is fun and brings me happiness, which allows me to pour my absolute best into my work. This pure joy drives my multidisciplinary reach, helping me achieve high-level output across design, thermal engineering, fluids, CFD, biomechanics, structural, and even soil mechanics. Whether I'm treating snow as a granular fluid for avalanche-reducing structures (winning IIT Gandhinagar's Bhalodia–Khetan Award), developing TPMS heat exchangers, or engineering 3D-printed mandibular implants that avoid bone grafts, I don't care about paper counts. I care about the thrill of building things that hold up when it matters.

I visualize engineering problems differently because my foundation is in Fine Arts. I've been painting since I was three years old, earning numerous certifications and presenting in exhibitions throughout my life. That lifelong immersion didn't just build early confidence and communication skills; it trained me to seamlessly combine my left and right brain. Whether I'm looking at a complex CFD solver or a blank sketchbook, my time at the Kanoria Centre taught me to approach rigid technical challenges with a highly creative, imaginative mindset, seeing problems purely as shapes and possibilities.

I don't fear taking calculated risks, whether that means picking up a textbook to conquer a brand new research field, taking home a state-level bronze in Karate, or playing an aggressive, attacking game in competitive lawn tennis even when I am losing. Beyond serving as university Tennis Secretary and leading Team Zenith's rocketry engineering, I seek out extreme environments. High-altitude trekking taught me what no classroom could: true self-exploration, survival in -20°C weather with barefoot river crossings, and, most importantly, the leadership and teamwork required to step up and help others when conditions are unforgiving.
