01About

I study Computer Science & AI and build AI software and robots. I like taking an idea and turning it into something people can actually use.

  1. 2023

    Started at Newton School of Technology. First-year software developer with IIT Roorkee on a Government of India project.

  2. 2025

    Software engineering intern at PsyTech.ai. Turned an idea into a shipped product.

  3. 2026

    Co-founded CodeMasti. Joined Utsedha Unmanned as a drone R&D engineer.

  4. Along the way

    Founded Monadnocks and Monadnocks Foundation. Founding member of NewtonBotics and the MoreThanMe NGO.

I learn best by building. Try it, test it, improve it, repeat.

01

Learn deeply

Understand the system before writing code.

02

Build practically

A working prototype beats a perfect plan.

03

Work in the open

Teams that share what they know win.

04

Keep improving

Every build is feedback. Use it.

02Experience

Startups, a research lab and client work. Each one taught me a different kind of engineering.
  1. Drones and unmanned aerial systems · work associated with IIT Ropar

    I work on drones. The main project is a drone that paints walls. We took it from a first prototype into a second, improved version.

    Scope

    • Building and testing multirotor drone prototypes.
    • Wall-painting drone: payload, power and putting the hardware together.
    • Weighing trade-offs between frame layouts, batteries and parts.
    • Earned a pre-placement offer (PPO) in R&D engineering.
    • Represented IIT Ropar at the national level.

    Visit CodeMasti

    A learning platform and company for students in Classes 5 to 12. Live and recorded classes, assignments, progress tracking, monthly tests and school partnerships. Everything is built around one idea: students learn technology by building with it.

    • Structured coding and AI programs
    • Progress tracking and assessments
    • Sold directly to students and through schools

    Wall-Painting Drone

    Robotics · R&D

    Phase II in development

    Visit Wall-Painting Drone

    A drone built to paint walls. It started as a first prototype and is now in its second version. The hard parts are balancing the weight it carries, the battery it needs and how all the hardware fits together.

    • Multirotor platform design
    • Payload and power budgeting
    • Prototype to Phase II

    NIDAR 2025

    Drones · AI

    National drone competition · Team

    Visit NIDAR 2025

    NIDAR is a national innovation challenge for drone applications and research. I worked with my team on the hardware and the AI: training detection models and running YOLO on the drone so it could see and react on its own.

    • Hardware build and integration
    • Model training
    • YOLO object detection on-board
