About
Engineer by degree, organiser by habit, lifelong tinkerer by choice. I’ve sanded metal at dawn and closed national tech summits at dusk sometimes in the same week. My toolbox: • Mechanical design ; SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, and CAD modeling for 3D printing & rapid prototyping. • Manufacturing & maintenance ; lathe, shaper, slotter, diesel engine preventive maintenance. • Leadership & operations ; led 40+ college events, coordinated 300+ volunteers across Kerala, and handled tele calling when deadlines hit. Signature projects: • Built a low cost ROV for underwater inspection, designed, assembled, and tested in shallow waters. • Helped scale the Tree Tag rollout by onboarding 500 users to track urban green cover. • Interned at Cochin Port's IC Engine division, handling preventive maintenance on 4-stroke engines. • Ran operations at Kerala's largest campus startup hub 30+ events. Roles that shaped me: COO | IEDC MESCE NSS North Regional Coordinator Innovation Fellow | KSUM NEST I’m at my best when mapping a problem, assembling a small crew, and building practical prototypes whether that’s hardware, systems, or event execution. Currently exploring opportunities in mechanical design, product development, rapid prototyping, and clean-tech startups. Always open to conversations, collaborations, and interesting builds. 📩
