Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
I’m a final-year Aerospace Engineering student at MIT ADT University with 3+ years of hands-on experience across AI/ML/DL, space systems, UAV development, and satellite mission design spanning mechanical design, embedded systems, testing, and systems-level integration. I’m currently an intern at U.R. Rao Satellite Centre (ISRO) in the Control Dynamics & Design Group (CDDG), contributing to work related to Chandrayaan-4, including areas like GNC, computer vision, re-entry, and docking. At Team Vyom Space, I serve as Team Lead & Satellite Systems Engineer, leading a 12-member team in the complete development of a CanSat featuring an autonomous paraglider recovery system, dual-motor reaction wheel attitude control, and a custom flight computer. I’ve delivered PDR and CDR presentations to ISRO and IN-SPACe, and I oversaw system integration, telemetry validation, drop tests, and mission readiness testing. In parallel, I’ve worked as a Space Systems Engineer (Team Rohini / Resolute Lab / STAC) on a 3U CubeSat for ocean microplastics detection, where I helped define mission objectives, select and integrate the Hyperspace 100 hyperspectral payload, improve EPS performance through modeling, and implement AES-256-based secure telemetry for image transmission. I also spent 3+ years at SuperAliensCo Technologies India LLP as a SpaceTech & UAV Intern, working on defense-oriented simulations, UAV propulsion studies, mapping workflows, and autonomous navigation modules. Beyond engineering, I’ve contributed to aerospace education as a Research Intern & Trainer at Indo Science Education Trust, mentoring students in satellite mission design and orbital mechanics, and I’ve participated in Buildspace Season 5, building an MVP from scratch in a global cohort. I’m currently open to roles and collaborations in: Spacecraft systems engineering & integration GNC, autonomy, re-entry, and docking UAV systems and embedded flight hardware Space mission design & applied aerospace R&D If you're building serious aerospace hardware or autonomy systems, feel free to connect.
I work on very cool stuff along the lines of Perception Engineering , Computer Vision , AI , Data Engineering and Docking :)
During my four-month research internship at Resolute Lab, in collaboration with STAC, I played a crucial role in developing a 3U CubeSat for ocean microplastics detection. My contributions included: Problem Statement: I identified and proposed the primary problem statement for the project, focusing on the detection of ocean microplastics. Payload Selection: I selected the Hyperspace 100 camera module as the primary payload, ensuring its suitability for spectral imaging. Power Systems: I worked on the CubeSat’s power systems, including the integration of solar cells and battery management, to ensure efficient energy usage. Data Security: Towards the end of the project, I focused on the encryption and decryption of the data received from spectral imaging, ensuring secure and reliable data transmission. This hands-on experience honed my skills in satellite technology, power systems, and data security, contributing to my growth as a proficient engineer in the aerospace sector.
