Adaptable Mechanical Engineering student with strong problem solving and quality inspection skills. Contributed to assembly design and engineering drafting by checking dimensions against markups and supporting accurate implementation.

1. Use of Non-Newtonian Fluid for Protective Insert

• Developed protective inserts using Shear Thickening Fluid (STF), a non-Newtonian fluid that stiffens upon impact to absorb shock and reduce damage. The inserts were primarily designed for motorcycle riding jackets to improve rider protection while maintaining comfort and flexibility.

2. Mini CNC Engraving Machine

• Designed and developed a functional Mini CNC Engraving Machine capable of engraving images, names and customized designs on wooden surfaces, demonstrating practical applications of CNC technology and automation.

• Designed an automated bicycle gear-shifting system using Arduino Nano, Hall Effect and MPU6050 sensors to monitor speed and road gradients. Developed an intelligent gear-selection algorithm with anti-cross-chaining logic and servo-based actuation to improve drivetrain efficiency and riding comfort.
