  • 4: Calculus BC (with 5 in AB subscore), Physics C E&M

University-level Coursework

  • MITx 6.00.1x ā€“ Introduction to Computer Science & Programming (Python): 89%
  • MITx 6.00.2x ā€“ Computational Thinking with Python: In progress

Current Focus (Break Year)

I am using my break year to build engineering depth through project-based learning and real-world workflows.

šŸ”§ Engineering & Design Projects

  • CFD-based Car Aerodynamics Pipeline
    Blender ā†’ cfMesh ā†’ OpenFOAM ā†’ ParaView
    (Extending my IED Turin concept design into a full CFD and 3D-printable model)

  • Autonomous Rover (Raspberry Pi)
    Implementing LKA, ACC, and AEB, along with sensor fusion and real-time control algorithms

šŸ’» Technical Skills Iā€™m Developing

  • Linux fundamentals & shell-based workflows
  • Git/GitHub and version control
  • Python for simulation and automation
  • Robotics & embedded systems programming

Visual Studies (Sketchbook)

Alongside engineering and robotics, I maintain a small sketchbook where I practice shading, perspective, and form studies.
These exercises help me build visual intuition for design ā€” skills that support my work in car modeling, aerodynamics, and concept development.

What This Portfolio Represents

This site is a living record of my learning journey ā€” combining:

  • Mechanical design
  • Robotics
  • Computational physics
  • Programming
  • Visual studies
  • Photography and travel documentation

I am continuously updating it as I make progress on projects, experiments, and university preparation.
