Over the last 30 odd years, I have built many prototypes in the Mechanical (and electro-Mechanical domain) - on my own time and dime - while also working full time. My core strength is innovation and building Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical prototypes. Some of the prototypes I have built or designed over the last thirty-odd years are:

1. LuXon: a device to bring ambient sunlight into a darkened space via fiber optics, a solar tube
2. AtaKama: a desktop machine that extracts water out of ambient air, then filters it to make it fit for drinking - an AWG aka Atmospheric Water Generator.
3. VulKan: a collapsible/foldable two wheeler rider helmet with various built-in (and add-on) innovative features for greater user comfort.
4. SeZame: a mechanically operated refrigerator (fridge) door opening unit that can attach to most existing refrigerator models (for when both your hands are full).
5. Trike: a three wheeled self pedalled off road vehicle.

Other than these, i am an avid quizzer having conducted and won numerous local and national level quizzes, including winning the prestigious Economic Times Brand Equity quiz.
