The Engineer
Behind the Work

From India to the Netherlands — I chose HAN University of Applied Sciences deliberately. Not for prestige, but for its "Applied Science" approach: a curriculum where theory is inseparable from physical systems. I didn't want to understand equations in a vacuum. I wanted to build the thing.

My pull toward mechanical engineering runs deep. It's the one discipline that hands you the complete toolkit — thermodynamics, mechanics, materials science — and asks you to do something useful with it. For me, that utility points squarely at high-performance automotive design. The physics that allows an F1 car to generate more downforce than it weighs at 200 km/h is the same physics I study every day. That proximity drives me.

I'm inspired by the generation of engineers and drivers who operated at the edge: Senna's commitment, Lauda's resilience, Hamilton's precision. What separates that elite level isn't just raw talent — it's the relentless refinement of every variable until marginal gains compound into something extraordinary. That's the standard I hold my engineering to.

I have secured my 3rd-year internship as a Mechanical R&D Intern at Gravity Gardens in Nijmegen, Netherlands, starting September 2026. I am excited to apply transient thermodynamic and kinematic models to physical, high-performance R&D systems. Long-term, my focus remains on engineering environments where innovation is the baseline.
