About Me
I am pursuing a B.Tech in Mechatronics and Automation at VIT Chennai. My interests span mechanical design, automation, control systems, simulation, and the application of AI to engineering problems.
I enjoy working across the mechanical and software sides of a problem— from understanding a physical system and modelling it to developing control logic, simulations, and data-driven prediction approaches.
