- 2010age 7First RC planeA high-altitude radio-controlled glider — on the sticks from the first flight, nothing free-flight about it.
- 2012age 9Trainer, IC engineFirst powered aircraft, built rather than bought. A nitro engine, and the first real lesson in what a bad landing costs.
- 2014age 11Balsa scratch-buildsRibs, spars and formers cut from raw balsa by hand — no kits, ever. The airframes on sheets 06 and 07 started as sheet stock.
- 2016age 133D aerobatics, Extra 300LHovering, harriers, torque rolls. Flying the airframe well past the point where it stops behaving like a plane.
- 2017age 14FPV dronesCustom quads built from the frame up — electronics, Betaflight and INAV setup, PID tuning, and hardware debugging.
- 2018age 15Boeing IIT AeromodellingRunner-Up at the Zonals (IIT Bombay), then Runner-Up again at the Finals (IIT Delhi, 2019). High-lift dual payload aircraft — pilot.
- 2,000+ flight hrs2024age 21Swarm Robotics — UAV Testing LeadLed flight test on fixed-wing and multirotor platforms, with well over 2,000 hours of stick time behind it by this point. Best Design at Regatta 2.0, Runner-Up at Technoxian drone soccer, and won the Search & Rescue UAV as FPV pilot.
- 2025age 22Grant, and a podium at BITS GoaA ₹12 lakh college-funded grant for swarm research, 1st Runner-Up at the International Space Drone Challenge, and DGCA remote pilot certification.
- 2026age 23Decentralised UAV swarmStealth. A swarm that holds formation with no ground station, no leader and no shared map — aircraft can drop out or join mid-flight and the rest keep flying.

Supervised Autonomous Decision Architecture for Fixed-Wing UAV
A first-principles safety-critical architecture separating mission reasoning from real-time flight control.
ERPoscontract
A full-stack inventory and operations ERP for a multi-front food business — tracking every gram from vendor delivery to the plate, with AI-assisted analysis, OCR bill processing, WhatsApp order ingestion, a six-state verified intake workflow, and per-outlet financial records that can reconstruct the truth at any point in time.
Line-Synced Audio Streaming App for a Community Trustcontract
A cross-platform audio app built for a community trust's ~2,000-member audience — a player that highlights Devanagari verse line by line as it plays, offline downloads encrypted at rest, and a content pipeline that publishes new recordings with no app-store release.
Helm: Mobile Mission Control for Agentic Sessions
A mission-control system that turns a spare Android phone into a live dashboard for every Claude Code session running on a laptop — session cards, live transcripts with red/green diffs, an ambient "Standby Mode" board, and a Tailscale SSH terminal.
Long-Range Cinematic FPV
High-endurance quadcopter for long-range cinematic capture.
Hand-Built Fixed-Wing Aircraft (IC Engine)
Wingspan: 2.5 m Structure: Fully hand-built balsa wood airframe Construction: Rib-and-spar, scratch-built from raw materials Propulsion: Internal combustion engine (Methanol) Build scope: Structural construction, assembly, integration, and flight testing
Fixed-Wing Dual Payload Delivery Aircraft
Autonomous fixed-wing aircraft designed for precision payload delivery.
Aircraft, autonomy, and the software around them — built from first principles and proven where it counts.
Design the system, make the part, run the test, record what happened, and revise the drawing.
