I have a background in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's degree in Mechanical System Design. I have experience working as a Mechanical Design Engineer in an Automation company and working on research projects at IIT Madras, where I focused on automation, system design and development. Further, I have worked on different technologies (3D printing, Hydrogen IC engine). I also held a management position as a Project Officer at IIT Madras. I currently work in the Robotics and Mechatronics field, specifically towards Snake Robotics.
