I am a multidisciplinary engineer with a strong foundation in mechatronics, robotics, and automation, and I am deeply motivated by projects that enhance efficiency, safety, and human experience. My journey began in Pune, India, where I studied mechanical engineering at Symbiosis International University before transferring to Purdue University, where I completed my B.S. in Mechatronics Engineering in December 2024.

At Purdue, I had the opportunity to take on roles that combined both technical and leadership responsibilities. As Project Manager and Mechanical Design Lead on a Stryker-sponsored capstone project, I led a team in designing a miniaturized LVDT-based sensing system for surgical robotics. I also contributed to research in the DWS Lab, where I served as Lead Author on an IEEE-published paper presenting a Docker-based Modbus to MQTT framework for industrial automation. These experiences reflect a consistent theme in my work: bridging design, embedded systems, and automation to solve real-world problems.

Beyond research and industry projects, I explored applied learning through creative engineering. I designed a fully functional penny press machine in Autodesk Inventor, built a heartbeat measurement device using biopotential amplifiers and LabVIEW integration, and prototyped multiple robotics projects, including a pick-and-place system and a line-following robot. Each project reinforced my ability to move from concept to prototype while balancing performance, manufacturability, and user needs.

Currently, I am working as a Controls Engineer at Tesla on the CyberCab program, where I contribute to the integration and testing of radar sensors and controls for advanced automation. This role allows me to apply my skills in controls, automation, and system integration in a fast-paced industrial environment.

Outside of technical expertise, I value collaboration, communication, and mentorship. At Purdue, I served as a Teaching Assistant, helping students in electronic systems courses, and I was actively involved in organizations such as Women in Technology and the Society of Women Engineers, where I promoted opportunities for women in STEM.

Looking forward, my goal is to continue developing innovative systems that merge research, engineering, and design, while staying focused on impact-driven solutions that advance technology and improve accessibility in real-world applications.
