I'm a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Manipal Institute of Technology, with a minor in thermal engineering. My passion for space technology and defense innovations has been the driving force behind my journey. From my first year in college, I immersed myself in the world of rocketry, participating in the SA Cup multiple times with Team thrustMIT. During this time, I focused on in-house propellant development and the intricacies of composite solid rocket casings, refining my skills in propulsion systems.My time at IIT Kanpur during my final year further fueled my fascination, particularly in hypersonics, which became a focus of my project work. This experience laid the groundwork for my career trajectory, leading me to join a space tech startup to delve more into the industry and dip my toes into so-called real "Rocket Science". At Abyom Spacetech, I embarked on a transformative journey from a propulsion engineer to the role of Chief Technology Officer where I worked on liquid rocket engines, test facilities, VTVL hop vehicles, and so on.Beyond my professional endeavors, I'm an avid reader, a sci-fi aficionado, and a dedicated MMORPG player. These interests not only provide me with moments of leisure but also inspire my work as I seek to contribute to technologies that will propel humanity forward. I'm driven by a deep-seated passion for solving technical challenges and advancing humanity toward the next frontier in space and defence technologies.
