About

Inquisitive, Motivated, and Altruistic, that’s me in three words. I am currently a Mechanical Engineering graduate student at UCLA, specializing in Design, Robotics and Manufacturing. As I continuously develop skills critical to these fields, I am excited to pursue full time job opportunities in Design & Robotics, particularly in areas such as Product Design, Systems Engineering, Product Lifecycle Management, Hardware Design, Robotic Manipulation, Humanoids, or Legged Robots.

My expertise includes Mechanical Design, Mechatronics, Product Design, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Product Development. I have completed a variety of projects across these fields, building a strong foundation in each.

In my previous role as a Wells Design Engineer with ExxonMobil, I supported casing and tubing design, led Carbon Capture and Sequestration project initiatives, and conducted hydraulic modeling for well cementing operations. I hold a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, with a minor in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, from NIT Trichy in India.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to community service. I find enormous joy in teaching. I have taught courses ranging from science, engineering to public affairs in different capacities for high school and undergraduate students. I mentor underprivileged students from government schools, helping them prepare for competitive exams, and I volunteer to raise awareness about the diverse opportunities for higher education and career paths available to them.
