About me

I have been building robots since school, starting with line followers, Micromouse maze solvers, humanoids and custom drones for national competitions. That early experience with sensing, control and mechanical integration naturally evolved into a focus on autonomous systems that can operate reliably in the real world. Today my work spans aerial, terrestrial and underwater platforms: from photogrammetry and point-cloud based scene reconstruction during my DRDO CAIR internship, to encoder-driven underwater actuation and live FPV control at Mafkin Robotics, and control contributions to a Level 1 ADAS initiative at VIT Chennai.

As Founder and CTO of Blackvolt Technologies, I am now applying that background to autonomous underwater vehicles, designing the architecture that links embedded hardware, propulsion and navigation into a coherent autonomy stack while protecting sensitive mission logic. Across projects and competitions, my focus has been consistent: treat robotics as a systems engineering discipline, reason carefully about constraints, and build platforms that can be trusted to perceive, decide and act in complex environments.
