Experience

  • Lead Mechanical Engineer & Founder Aerora Dynamics · Self-employed Apr 2026 – Present 3 mos UP, India Direct the mechanical design, FEA, and manufacturing pipeline for industrial heavy-payload UAVs (hexacopters/octocopters). Designed custom payload deployment mechanisms, optimized airframe structures for weight reduction in SolidWorks, and managed the procurement of raw carbon fiber and aluminum components for physical prototyping.
  • Systems Engineer Intern Drona Aviation · Internship Jan 2024 – Mar 2024 2 mos Mumbai, MH, India Calibrated advanced flight controllers and worked on the hardware integration of multi-rotor systems. Bridged physical mechanical limits with software control loops.
  • Process Analyst Intern Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited · Internship Jun 2023 – Aug 2023 2 mos Visakhapatnam, AP, India Analyzed heavy industrial mechanical mechanisms to identify performance bottlenecks. Conducted root-cause analysis on physical machinery to improve operational efficiency by 3%.

Education

  • National Institute of Technology (NIT) Andhra Pradesh Bachelor of Technology, Mechanical Engineering 2022 – 2026 Activities and Societies: Founder of Aerora Dynamics (Incubated deep-tech startup), Technical Lead for UAV/Robotics Development, Advanced Manufacturing & CAD Initiatives. Specialized coursework and applied research focusing on Robotics, Control Systems, Fluid Mechanics, and Advanced Manufacturing. I actively leverage my academic environment to push the boundaries of commercial hardware, directly applying principles of mechanical kinematics and material science to the development of industrial heavy-payload UAVs.

    Core academic applications include:
    • Utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to test structural integrity on drone airframes.
    • Applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) principles to optimize thrust-to-weight ratios.
    • Bridging MATLAB/Simulink theoretical control loops with physical mechatronic assemblies.

Other experience

  • Autonomous Systems R&D & SITL Simulation Conducted independent research and development focused on validating complex mechatronic assemblies before physical manufacturing.

    Specialized in exporting standard CAD models (SolidWorks/Fusion 360) into ROS2 and Gazebo environments to run highly accurate Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) simulations. Developed custom control loops in MATLAB/Simulink to test drone flight physics, dynamic structural load distribution, and Edge AI payload deployment scenarios. This workflow ensures that all mechanical designs are rigorously stress-tested for real-world functionality before moving to CNC or carbon-fiber fabrication.
