Engineer. Builder. Seeker.

Designing systems. Building what matters.

I work at the intersection of mechanical engineering, systems thinking, startups, and inner practice to build elegant solutions and meaningful impact.

About

I am a mechanical engineer with 6+ years of hands-on R&D and systems integration experience. My background spans mechanical design, electromechanical systems, prototyping, manufacturing, and product development. I combine technical rigor with direct making, exploring how design connects to awareness, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

I work at the intersection of mechanical engineering, hands-on prototyping, system integration, and AI-assisted workflows. I practice classical Hatha Yoga and believe in maintaining precision of body and mind as a foundation for building systems that matter.

My direction is toward hardware startups, practical design, elegant systems, and multidisciplinary thinking — building real things that serve real needs.
