Participated in the INSSDC Challenge, conceptualising large scale human space settlements in orbit around Venus and Mercury. Qualified from regional rounds to India Nationals and served as CAD and Design Head. Led mechanical architecture and system layout, producing detailed CAD models for more than 20 robotic, habitation, power, and infrastructure subsystems. Created the final integrated settlement assembly and render, ensuring structural feasibility, modularity, and cross system compatibility. Coordinated interfaces across teams, contributing to successful national level qualification and evaluation.
Member of a four student team that received the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Engineering Category for the project “Rethinking Food Packaging for School and Workplace Lunches.” Contributed to product design, materials evaluation, and sustainability analysis, developing a reusable packaging concept aimed at reducing single use waste while maintaining everyday practicality.
Presented my innovation Breathfree, a wearable breathing monitor designed to track respiratory patterns in real time. At the 2022 Olympiad in Ahmedabad, the project earned Second Runner Up Prize along with a cash award. In 2023, my subsequent project Aquaqsound received the Special Judge’s Award for originality and engineering approach.
Competed across three FTC seasons as part of teams Technonerds and G Force, progressing from member to Software Captain and Driver.
Participated as a core technical member contributing to robot software, drivetrain tuning, and autonomous routines for freight handling tasks. The team achieved strong competitive results at India Nationals, earning the Innovate Award and advancing to higher level competition.
Led development of the autonomous stack, robot controls, and match strategy. Designed a custom path planning and trajectory following library optimized for FTC field constraints, enabling precise multi cone scoring routines. Implemented advanced computer vision pipelines for object detection and localization, integrating camera input with odometry for robust navigation.
Engineered reliability features including sensor fusion, watchdog systems, and fault recovery logic to handle real match uncertainties. Key achievements included:
• Division Finalist Alliance at Nationals
• Qualification to the Asia Pacific Open Championship (APOC), finishing as Finalist Alliance
Continued as software lead, overseeing development of vision based autonomous scoring systems tailored to the Centerstage game. Enhanced the custom pathing library with dynamic trajectory selection, real time adjustment, and improved localization accuracy.
Developed advanced vision algorithms for game element detection and placement alignment, along with robust failsafes to ensure reliable performance under competition conditions. Led strategic planning for autonomous scoring sequences and endgame optimization.
Across seasons, responsibilities included software architecture design, testing pipelines, match strategy, driver coordination, and system integration.
Served as Software Vice Captain, leading autonomous systems, controls architecture, and match strategy for a large scale industrial robot.
Developed advanced autonomous frameworks incorporating trajectory planning, sensor feedback, and vision assisted targeting. Implemented reliability mechanisms to ensure safe operation and rapid recovery from faults during matches.
Key achievements across seasons included:
• Two time Winning Alliance Captain at regional events
• Excellence in Engineering Award
• Engineering Inspiration Award
• FIRST Championship Creativity Award (Galileo Division)
• Top 20 Global Peak Ranking
• Competed at the Haliç and Istanbul Regionals during the Reefscape season as part of the first Indian team to win an FRC regional
In addition to software leadership, contributed to match strategy, driver support, and cross subsystem integration.
