About

I'm a Computer and Autonomous Systems Engineering student at UOWD, graduating June 2027. My work sits at the intersection of hardware and AI — from CubeSat avionics to wearable assistive technology.

I founded VANTAGE, an AI-driven assistive tech startup for the blind, incubated at Expo Changemakers Academy with grant funding from Expo City Dubai, and recognised in Khaleej Times.

Across internships in aerospace, antenna engineering, and design thinking, I've built real systems — not just simulations. I'm multilingual, and I care about building technology that genuinely matters.
