I'm a mechanical engineer by training and a designer at heart. I grew up in Chennai and Dubai, made my way to Berkeley for my MEng, and along the way I've built everything from AI-driven assistive wearables to pneumatic baby blankets. The thread through all of it: I believe good design is functional, sustainable, and inclusive, made for everyone, not just the assumed default user.
I thrive in the scrappiness of early-stage prototyping. I've welded metal, written Python games, run FEA simulations, and spent time in factories watching how things actually get made. I love talking to every stakeholder in a product's life, not just the end customer, but clinicians, manufacturers, and the people building alongside me. Outside of engineering, I'm usually cooking something new, crafting, or travelling, with a good cup of tea in hand.
I'm currently looking for full-time product design engineering roles in medical devices, assistive technology, or consumer hardware. If that sounds like you, I'd love to connect.
