Design and Engineering
A perk to being an engineer: Design feasibility
Self-Service Rental Stand
Developed a self-service rental ecosystem that integrates a custom-designed stand with a digital booking platform to transform rear cargo boxes into a scalable, unmanned sharing-economy service.
Problem Statement:
Design a rugged, unmanned rental stand and an integrated digital booking system that allows a single user to mount a heavy cargo box without assistance.
-
Applied the Double Diamond framework with iterative cycles, enabling continuous exploration and refinement from research through prototyping and validation.
-
Conducted in-depth market analysis to understand customer demands, needs and willingness in order to guage business viability. Created a 5-year financial projection estimating a break-even point.
-
Used semi-structured interviews and surveys to gain customer feedback to understand their needs, preferences, and experiences (Both hosts and users)
-
Integrated hydraulicspring mechanisms to assist the user in lifting and lowering the 30 kg box directly to car-height, eliminating the need for a separate trolley and avoiding physical injury to users.
-
Developed three distinct mechanical concepts, narrowing them down to two functional prototypes for real-world testing.
-
Designed a custom software interface where users locate stands via Maps, book, and pay. Upon payment, the system generates a unique PIN that communicates with the physical stand's smart lock without requiring on-site Wi-Fi
-
Conducted FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to address environmental challenges like snow/ice and mechanical reliability.
The Kitchen Scale
A redesigned kitchen scale, modern but simple and affordable. Through user research, iterative prototyping, and DFM, the design addresses common pain points in home cooking while delivering a refined aesthetic that complements modern kitchen environments.

I have always been a fan of cars. One random day, I spotted this beauty on the streets of India which is quite rare.
-

Me being me, I became obsessed and wanted to model it myself. Luckily, the design turned out nicely and I was able to get it featured on SolidWorks’ Instagram page.

Practice & Exploration
I learn design through making. My time with a Formula Student team surrounded me with meticulously engineered racing components, which sparked my practice of understanding objects by recreating them. Whether it's parts from the race car or everyday products, this hands-on exploration reveals the thoughtful decisions—and practical constraints—that shape functional design.
The Team - Formula Student
Being a mechanical engineer and automotive enthusiast, I have also worked in racecar development, teaching me practical engineering, mechanical design, material understanding, balancing crazy design with practicality, etc. This was my first exposure to my design vision turning into reality.
Except this one goes around a racetrack! FAST!
