Hi! I’m a junior studying Aerospace Engineering at USC. Currently conducting research into autonomous UAV systems for geospatial mapping. I’m driven by deep curiosity and a love for hardware, constantly exploring new ways to build cool technology.

Last summer, I worked at Tata Aerospace, field testing aircraft and building their in-house concept design software. At Drona Aviation, I worked on design for an agriculture drone and the Pluto platform. At USC I build startups with SEP (the premier startup community) and I build rockets with RPL (the only student rocket team to reach space). In high school, I founded Team Atlas which reached the FTC India finals and masterchef4many, a community food drive that has served over 350,000 meals.

When I’m not immersed in my projects, you’ll find me exercising - scaling indoor rock walls, tearing it up on the squash court, or crushing long distance runs. I'm also a foodie and aspiring chef, and can cook a mean Korean bibimbap, vodka pasta or Sri Lankan fish curry.
