🌐 EXECUTIVE SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Final-year Automation & Robotics Engineering undergraduate at JSPM's Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering (RSCOE), Pune. My engineering focus operates at the intersection of high-fidelity multi-physics simulation, deterministic embedded control, and precision physical hardware integration. From formulating zero-relative-velocity kinematics for agricultural robotics to validating solid propellant ballistics across high-frequency static fire test stands, I build safety-critical autonomous systems from first principles.
