01 / ABOUTCurious about how
Curious about how
things hold together.
From mechanical design to the behaviour of materials under load, my work is rooted in understanding how engineering systems perform.
I'm pursuing an M.Sc. in Materials Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, with a Structural Integrity specialization focused on fracture mechanics, failure analysis, materials characterisation and finite element analysis.
Alongside engineering, my experience at Kerala Startup Mission strengthened my skills in technical evaluation, coordinating complex projects and automating repetitive workflows.
