From the first signal
to the whole system.

I work where hardware meets software. From the power that starts a system to the firmware, communications and interfaces that make it dependable.

An engineer’s mind.
A builder’s instinct.

For close to a decade, I’ve built power architectures, flight-system firmware and the tools that make engineering clearer. Today, I lead technology at FlyVI and build Noyce IDE.

Based in Bengaluru, India.

Embedded Systems Engineer → Senior Engineer → CTO

  • Scaled the Power Distribution vertical from 3 to ~50 engineers and ~20× revenue, building the team, process and delivery discipline from the ground up.
  • Power Architect on AKASH and QRSAM; Integrated Power & Controls Architect on launcher platforms; participant in multiple live missile trials.
  • Appointed Head of Ground Systems at 25, responsible for ground-support equipment during missile-trial operations.
  • Delivered DO-160G / DO-178C qualified power electronics and controls to Boeing, Embraer, Gulfstream and Dassault programmes, including in-seat power and mission-computer interface hardware.
  • Led ISO 26262 ASIL-C certification of a safety MCU for a motor-driver programme, with MISRA-C:2012 compliance through PC-Lint.
