about
I'm an electrical engineering student at VJTI, Mumbai (2023–2027, minor in robotics). I've been building robots since my first year and I'm not planning to stop.
The thing I chase is the moment a machine starts working. I don't give up easily — most of my projects have a long list of versions that didn't work before the one you see in the video.
You can genuinely call me at midnight with an idea.

Two things. I spent April to August 2026 in Bangalore as the electronics and hardware engineer at Eyecandy Robotics, drawing the boards inside Piko, a small biped — the awkward one was a power board that had to run 17 motors off one battery.
And my final year project, which is a brushless motor with no iron in it — the stator is just a circuit board. I simulated it before fabricating and found that my own design was giving away 3.3× of its torque, which is the most useful thing a simulation has ever told me.
SRA
Most of my building happens at the Society of Robotics and Automation at VJTI. I run workshops there — embedded C, ESP32, sensor fusion — and mentor juniors building their first robots. We make and sell Wall-E kits; over 200 students have learned on them so far.
not robots
I directed a short film with my friends once — "Plot Se Panga". It won first prize across all branches. Turns out directing a film and debugging a robot are the same job: many takes, one good one.
Also led my branch to a win at Pratibimb, VJTI's cultural fest — first time in 26 years. The results came out on my 19th birthday.
And there's the lab cat. She has her own robot.
