Engineer focused on reliable, real-world systems

I design, prototype and validate control systems that have to work first time – from industrial cooling plant to manoeuvrable RC aircraft and digital twin test rigs.

With a background in Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering, I bring together sensors, actuators, embedded controllers and industrial hardware to create practical solutions. I enjoy taking systems from a whiteboard concept to a validated prototype that operators can trust.

Recent work includes developing digital twins and hardware-in-the-loop test rigs for industrial cooling systems at Airedale by Modine, and building a multi-axis RC flight controller for a manoeuvrable aircraft platform that can be used for future avionics experiments.

I’m particularly interested in: industrial automation, controls, model-based development, digital twins, test systems and embedded mechatronic products.

2018 – 2021

Bachelor of Engineering – Mechanical

Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Engineering, India

Core mechanical engineering with emphasis on design, dynamics and manufacturing. Built a foundation in system modelling, thermodynamics and structural analysis.

2015 – 2018

Diploma in Tool & Die Making

Indo German Tool Room (IGTR), India

Intensive training in precision machining, CAD/CAM and tooling. Developed a practical understanding of tolerancing, jigs, fixtures and shop-floor realities that now informs my automation work.

Systems I’ve Designed & Built

A snapshot of recent projects that combine hardware, software and controls – all grounded in testable, maintainable engineering.

RC Flight Controller Prototype

Designed and built a bespoke flight-control system for a manoeuvrable RC aircraft. The rig integrates a FlySky receiver, ESP-based microcontroller, MEMS sensors and multiple servo channels to control roll, pitch and yaw surfaces.

Implemented stabilisation logic, differential servo mixing and sensor-based safety limits. The platform acts as a test bed for future autonomous features and control law experiments.

Digital Twin & Control Cabinet

At Airedale by Modine, contributed to the design and wiring of a full-scale control cabinet used as a digital twin and hardware-in-the-loop platform for chiller and HVAC systems.

Supported PLC integration, safety-rated components and signal routing so that control strategies could be validated against real hardware before deployment on production equipment.

Industrial Automation in Context

Experience working inside a live industrial environment, supporting cooling and thermal management systems that serve data centres and mission-critical facilities.

This context shapes how I approach engineering – thinking not only about the control loop, but also about maintainability, safety, and how technicians interact with the system in the field.
