About Me
I'm a Computer Engineering senior at Wentworth Institute of Technology, graduating in May 2026. My passion lies in the intersection of hardware and software, with hands-on experience in embedded systems, circuit design, and controls engineering.
As Electrical Systems Team Head for the Baja Racing team, I lead technical projects and collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement electrical systems for off-road racing vehicles. I also serve as a Community Advisor, managing a wellness-focused residential community of 32 students, and as a STEM Ambassador, helping to inspire the next generation of engineers.
Beyond academics, I'm an entrepreneur managing an Airbnb property in South Goa and have developed innovative projects like Kinnections, a proximity-based professional networking app for career fairs.
