> DESIGN ENGINEER — HARDWARE, SOFTWARE & HUMAN-CENTRED RESEARCH — NEW DELHI, INDIA / LONDON, UK
First-year MEng Design Engineering student at Imperial College London, working across human-centred product development, UI/UX, CAD, embedded systems and data analysis. My practice moves between research and build: interviews and affinity maps on one end, ESP32s, Fusion 360 and Python on the other. Recent work includes MealMap (a human-centred campus dining platform), Enveloop (a hackathon runner-up emergency-response wearable) and Ledger (an independent manual-first finance product).
Open to internships and collaborations.
