about

I am a Robotics-focused Computer Science student at Manipal University Jaipur, specializing in IoT & Intelligent Systems. My work is driven by a passion for Physical AI and embodied robotics — the challenge of building perception-driven systems that can navigate and interact with the real world.
currently deep-diving into
  • Autonomous Navigation — Developing control systems for UAVs using ROS2, Gazebo, and Non-linear MPC algorithms for precise flight path automation.
  • Robotic Perception — Implementing real-time SLAM and LiDAR-based mapping on TurtleBot3 hardware.
  • Interactive 3D Environments — Bridging web development and robotics by building non-GPS 3D navigation systems using Three.js and Blender.
Beyond technical implementation, I value international collaboration and sustainability. I was selected for IGCSP 2025, an Indo-German challenge where I coordinated system modeling for circular economy PV modules. Whether optimizing a pathfinding algorithm or leading technical initiatives as Technical Secretary of ANOVA, I thrive at the intersection of complex software architecture and physical hardware.
I am always looking to connect with teams building the next generation of intelligent, autonomous machines.
