I get brought in when something's stalled, and I take it from idea through simulation to a built, tested machine.

Now: Building Hadal Industries: robot submarines that protect the world's undersea energy, internet and trade assets, 24/7. Built a robot that docks itself in under six weeks, and got a $1.9M defence order.
Built: Hardware on land, in the air, underwater and for space.

Underwater: a bio-inspired AUV with cuttlefish fins in his first year of engineering, the direct ancestor of everything underwater at Hadal.

In pipes: Sony's in-pipe inspection robot, running in 40 days after four months with nothing built, finding six types of defect at 90% precision. Two published papers, two patents.

Space: a hybrid rocket engine, real static fire at 782 N, backed by ISRO and India's defence research agency.

Air: a hydrogen fuel-cell drone that flies 45 minutes carrying 2 kg, and eVTOL design for an air-taxi company in London.

Land: technical director of a Formula Student hybrid race car team.

Recognition: 1st place in the healthcare track of a national hackathon. Won IIT Bombay's agricultural-drone competition, plus a Government of India drone award.

At 22, consults for a defence research agency.
Papers: Coming soon.
