👯 I developed a keen interest in product development while working in a Formula SAE team during my undergrad at RV College of Engineering, Bengaluru. My professional industry experience at Noccarc Robotics, an early-stage startup making ICU ventilators (featured in the book "The Ventilator Project"), in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment has laid a strong foundation in product development. These experiences of solving diverse problems through computational and experimental approaches have deepened my understanding of building products and solving engineering problems
