// about
I'm a mechanical engineer based in Kerala, currently working as a Technology Fellow at Kerala Startup Mission in Kochi. I've worked on drones, IoT systems, and machine building — from ideation all the way to physical prototypes. A Fab Academy graduate, I love the full process — designing in CAD, getting hands dirty in the fab lab, and figuring out problems as they come. Always building something.
