ABOUT

Why Me?

A lot of people say they're passionate about aerospace. I build things. Before second year. Before anyone told me to.

I didn't wait for a class to teach me C++. I taught myself and built a functioning radar scanner.

I'm hungry in a way that doesn't switch off. My parents gave up everything to put me here and I treat every day like that means something.

There is an itch that never goes away. A curiosity that does not ask for permission. I do not wait to be assigned a problem · I find one, pick it apart, and build something from what is left. That drive is not something I learned. It is just the way I am wired.

More Coming

Actively building toward additional certifications in embedded systems and aerospace. Watch this space.

The Vision.

“I don't just want to think outside the box. I want to think outside the scopes of this planet.”

Medhansh Sekhri

The frontier of aerospace and defence is where problems are hardest and stakes are highest. Autonomous systems, propulsion, structural design under extreme conditions. That is where I intend to be. Not when I am ready. Not when someone gives me permission. Already moving toward it · one build at a time.

Get in Touch.

Most engineers wait to be discovered. I don't. If you're looking for someone who builds before they're asked, learns before they're taught, and leads before they're told,

Let's talk.
