My Projects

ADCS and Flight Software Engineer,

MAXWELL CubeSat

Manufacturing & Design Head, Structures Founding Lead,

FSAE Team Fateh

Portfolio

Taking up responsibility as the lead to integrate the changes suggested by the USAF and UNP during the Post Integration Review 2024, leading to debugging the FSW for SD card and GPS parser issues
Establishing error-free integrations by resolving the UART errors and cementing concrete communication between the CDH and Comms sub-system with the ADCS & GPS boards
Incorporating the sensors and hardware testing plan and establishing a Testing Hypothesis to integrate all the sensors and boards working seamlessly in sync across multiple Day In The Life DITL Tests

Spearheaded the designing & manufacturing operations for 5+ on-road FS vehicles from 2019- 2023. Maintained, improved and optimised manufacturing processes within the organisation & delivered high standards of race engineering liable quality and cost.

Optimised Designing & Manufacturing operations: structured timeline of FS vehicles delivery by determining the sequence of processes required, achieving on-time delivery, optimizing project timelines by 45% & reducing vehicle costs by 22%
Analyzed and Investigated: CAD modelling and FEA for 20+ automotive components, verified product specifications, drawings, data, operation sheets using GD&T to ensure precision within ±0.01 mm, & applied topology optimization, reducing vehicle weight by 15% & increasing structural efficiency by 12%
Process Engineering: performed planning & process capability audits from time to time within the department and for the team to minimize production risks & costs, improved productivity, quality and consistency of component delivery. Performed process capability studies as and when required to maintain ASME standards of production. Accommodated changes to the vehicle design and adjusted the impact on production and analyses procedures.
Documentation & Statistical Analysis: prepared SES with DOE (Design of Experiments) to validate design choices, value stream mapping to reduce waste and improved outputs by 64%, presented design ideologies & performance metrics at FSAE forums, rocketing team evaluation scores by 62% which helped the team rise in national rankings from 50th to 1st, improved lap times by 8%, vehicle cornering & acceleration efficiencies by 18%.

About Me

Currently an MS student at the Ann & H. J. Smead School of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder, focusing on Astrodynamics and Satellite Navigation Systems and specializing in Satellite Systems Design.
Besides this, working as an ADCS Engineer for MAXWELL SmallSat Mission which is part of the Air Force Research Laboratory's University Nanosat Program 9, and as part of the NASA Small Satellite Technology Program to develop a high-rate CubeSat communication system that is compatible with the NASA Near-Earth Network. Parallelly, working as an Avionics Engineer with the CU Sounding Rocket Laboratory, currently involved with projects for the year 2024-2025.

Portfolio

Relative extensive background in Experimental Fluid Mechanics, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Solid and Structural Mechanics, Image Processing on MATLAB and practices of FEA and CAE, among multiple other domains.
Proactive and passionate engineering professional with a deep interest in opportunities where profound
technical and analytical skills will be applied to accomplish research-oriented goals. Keen on working in the domain of Structures, Design, and Analysis for Mechanical Engineering. Human Spaceflight, Spaceflight Mechanics, and Oriented Structures supplementing the same with knowledge of Orbital or Celestial Mechanics, Rocket Ascent and Lift-Off Mechanics, Structural Mechanics, and Astrodynamics.

Beyond my core projects, I actively contribute to open-source initiatives, firmly believing in the power of knowledge sharing and collaborative development. It's my way of giving back to the tech community and staying engaged with the latest industry trends.
