Mechanical Engineer · Poet · Builder
"Engineer by training. Poet by necessity. Builder of things that matter."
RMIT Mechanical Engineering student based in Melbourne, specialising in aerospace & autonomous systems — and occasionally writing things that make people feel less alone.
Who I Am
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at RMIT University (graduating November 2026), specialising in aerospace engineering, mechatronics, and autonomous systems. I grew up in Delhi — fireflies and chai and a grandfather's warmth — and landed in Melbourne chasing something I couldn't quite name yet.
I've designed deployable nosecones for L2-class rockets, programmed autonomous drones, and built digital twin pipelines for cardiovascular stents. I've also written poems at 2am and co-founded a social impact initiative with a researcher from India's Prime Minister's Office.
I believe the most interesting people refuse to be one thing. I'm an engineer who reads Camus, a poet who understands fluid dynamics, and someone who thinks Richard Feynman's greatest achievement was making physics feel like joy.
Currently serving as Lab Manager at RMIT's UAV Research Team, running the Irada initiative, and actively seeking graduate roles in aerospace, defence, and R&D.
What I've Built
From UAVs to cardiovascular stents — engineering that spans scales.
What I'm Building Now
Turning intention into action.
Co-founded with Ishika Chaudhary — a policy researcher with direct experience at NITI Aayog, the Prime Minister's Office of India — Irada is a social impact initiative dedicated to empowering women through mentorship, skill development, and access to opportunities.
We bridge the gap between advanced gender-equality research and the women who need it most. Because the most meaningful policy insights shouldn't stay in policy circles.
