01 / About

Engineering across software and hardware

I am a Computer Science and Engineering student specializing in AI and Robotics at VIT Chennai, with hands on experience in robotics, AI/ML, computer vision, embedded systems, PCB design, and space technology.

My experience spans VLA robotics research at IISc, UAV electronics and PCB design at Fusionova, robotics and computer vision at Mafkin, and national level space awareness outreach and leadership through SEDS (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space) India. I enjoy building intelligent systems that combine AI and Robotics, into real world applications.

Work Experience and Leadership Role

Hands on work across robotics research, UAV electronics, computer vision, and a national student space community.

05/2026 – 07/2026
Indian Institute of Science (IISc)
Bangalore, India
Research Intern — Vision-Language-Action (VLA) Robotics
- Deployed and investigated OmniVLA, a pretrained Vision-Language-Action model, on a physical 6 wheel differential drive rover; identified the goal reaching "stopping problem" and designed five OmniVLA native stopping solutions using predicted trajectory outputs.
- Designed a modular multi robot navigation architecture for two autonomous rovers, combining OmniVLA for global direction with ORCA for local collision avoidance, with task scheduling, path planning, and swarm robotics considerations.
- Assembled, wired, and integrated a second rover; deployed ROS 2, OmniVLA, camera streaming, and Zenoh on Raspberry Pi and successfully tested dual rover navigation with simultaneous collision avoidance.
06/2026 – 07/2026
Fusionova Industries Pvt. Ltd.
Bangalore, India
Electronics and Hardware Intern
- Studied UAV/drone system principles, architecture, major components, and applications, with focus on hardware integration and power distribution.
- Designed a custom drone integration PCB from scratch in KiCad, interfacing flight controller, ESCs, Jetson Orin Nano, GPS, ESP32, cameras, sensors, communication modules, and power system.
- Created schematics, assigned footprints, designed component placement and routing, implemented ground planes, performed ERC/DRC checks, and generated Gerber and drill files for fabrication.
08/2025 – 01/2026
Mafkin Robotics
Chennai, India
Robotics Intern
- Worked with ROS 2 and Gazebo for robotic system simulation and end to end robotics workflows.
- Performed underwater image enhancement using DeepSeaColor for improved visibility in low light environments.
- Developed a YOLO based pipeline for detecting structural cracks in ship hulls and prepared annotated datasets for model training.
11/2025 – Present
Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) India
National Role
Corporate Affairs and Funding Director
SEDS India is an international student space community dedicated to promoting space exploration and development among young people.
- Leading chapter expansion across colleges in India.
- Coordinating with student leaders, institutions, and industry partners.
- Working on corporate sponsorships and industry partnerships.
- Working on the initiative to establish a SEDS India merchandise store.
- Most importantly, spreading awareness and interest in space among youth and connecting students with opportunities in the space ecosystem.
