I'm at Sarvam in Bangalore, working on ___. Before that I studied bioengineering at IIT Mandi, with a semester at RWTH Aachen.
Most of what I've built is some way for a machine to sense the world: smell, touch, how people move. Away from screens I take photos, fly drones, and go up mountains when I can.
I build things that sense the world, fly drones, and take photos. These days I'm at Sarvam.
Started with Arduino kits as a kid, ended up running weekend robot workshops for other kids in my neighbourhood. Still the most fun I've had teaching.
Studied bioengineering, wrote a few papers on brains and noses, and spent Inter IIT trying to keep a quadrotor flying after one of its motors dies. (Try clicking a propeller.)
January 2024. Cold, slow, and worth every step.
Erasmus at RWTH, 2026. New lab, new language, a lot of trains, and some of my favourite light to shoot in.
Nov 2023 — Sakura Science, Tokyo. Saw JAXA up close. Still thinking about it.
Things I've made, mostly ones that sense something. [placeholder — details later]
Some of where I've been, mostly seen through a camera. [photos coming]
The formal list, for anyone who wants it.
The longer version. [placeholder — write later]
Bioengineering at IIT Mandi, a semester at RWTH Aachen, now at Sarvam. I like building things that sense the world, flying drones, and taking photos of mountains.
