About Me

I am a passionate and detail-oriented Aerospace Engineering graduate from Lovely Professional University, holding a Bachelor of Technology. My academic background provided a robust foundation in aerodynamics, aircraft structures, material science, and mechanical engineering. My professional journey has since expanded my expertise into university-level lecturing, customer experience management, and hands-on IT and mechanical engineering internships.

Currently based in Durham, North Carolina, I am driven to apply my technical knowledge and analytical skills to solve complex, real-world challenges in the aerospace and mechanical sectors. With proven experience in SOLIDWORKS, C/C++, Python, and project management, I am actively seeking opportunities to contribute to innovative projects. I thrive in collaborative team environments and am deeply committed to continuous learning and professional development.
