Learning Journey
Context
This page captures reflective context from my break year following high school, during which I intentionally stepped beyond a classroom-only learning path to gain exposure to real-world design processes, engineering workflows, and independent technical exploration.
Rather than documenting events chronologically, this page highlights how specific experiences shaped my thinking as an aspiring Mechanical & Robotics Engineer and influenced the direction of my current project work.
From Design Exposure to Engineering Direction
My academic engagement at IED Turin provided an early introduction to the complete workflow of exterior car design — from ideation and sketching to physical clay modeling and digital refinement.
Working through these stages helped me understand how early design decisions affect downstream feasibility, particularly in terms of:
- Surface continuity
- Manufacturability
- Translating visual intent into physically realizable geometry
This exposure directly influenced my decision to extend the IED concept into an independent CFD-ready car geometry project, where design modeling is evaluated through engineering constraints such as mesh quality, boundary conditions, and simulation stability.

Independent Learning & Project Mindset
Alongside formal coursework, this period reinforced the importance of self-driven learning and structured experimentation.
Navigating unfamiliar environments, adapting to new tools, and working with limited guidance strengthened my ability to:
- Learn independently
- Ask better technical questions
- Reflect critically on my own work
- Document progress methodically
These habits now shape how I approach engineering projects, including my work on CFD pipelines, robotics systems, and embedded software.
Closing Note
This learning journey complements the technical projects presented on this site by providing context for how my interests, approach to problem-solving, and engineering focus have evolved.
My primary work is documented in the Projects section, where each project is presented with clear objectives, technical depth, and ongoing learning outcomes.
