Operator Profile

I am a Mechanical Engineer with an obsession for taking complex mechatronic ideas out of CAD software and into working physical reality. My workflow spans the entire product development lifecycle: from conceptual packaging sketches and FEA structural optimization in SolidWorks, to rapid additive fabrication at the workbench, through embedded C++ firmware and field deployment.

Hardware & CAD Design Intern

Jun 2026 – Present

Owning end-to-end mechanical CAD design, thermal enclosure engineering, and hardware integration across two concurrent product lines:

Custom Thermal Imaging Device

NDA · SCOPE AT HIGH LEVEL

Owning the hardware development for an in-house handheld thermal imaging device intended to replace off-the-shelf camera units inside an existing industrial field-inspection workflow.

Evaluated and selected sensing, compute, and power hardware against environmental durability, thermal clearance, and software pipeline integration requirements.
Designed the mechanical shell from scratch in SolidWorks — component packaging, sensor thermal relief, weather sealing, and field ergonomics for on-site engineers.
Integrated electronics into the physical chassis and validated that the assembled unit hands off cleanly to downstream processing software, removing a manual step from the workflow.

Tools: SolidWorks · FDM Prototyping · Thermal & Enclosure DFM · Hardware Integration

WiseBot — AI Classroom Robot (WiseTribes)

PUBLIC PRODUCT: WISETRIBES.IO/WISEBOT

CAD design and physical hardware assembly for WiseBot, an interactive AI companion robot for Class 5–10 Indian classrooms built by WiseTribes (Wiseclub Ventures Pvt Ltd, Pune).

Executed mechanical/CAD packaging for a child-height, three-wheeled mobile robot carrying a 7" IPS touchscreen, camera, audio system, and edge sensors.
Hardware assembly and physical layout — component mounting, chassis integration, and wiring harnesses for Raspberry Pi compute and power systems.
Engineered around real classroom constraints: full-school-day battery endurance, obstacle sensing, and thermal limits of a single-board compute platform.

Tools: SolidWorks · Fusion 360 · FDM Prototyping · Mechanical Assembly · Raspberry Pi
