5 years designing flight-proven EPS & PCDU systems for operational LEO constellations. From power architecture to on-orbit commissioning — full hardware lifecycle.
I am a Senior Electrical Engineer at Pixxel, working on power electronics for Earth observation satellites. My work spans the full hardware lifecycle — from architecture and schematic design through PCB layout, EM and FM build, environmental testing, and on-orbit commissioning.
My focus is EPS and PCDU design for LEO missions: DC-DC converter topology selection and stability analysis, fault-tolerant power distribution, and radiation-tolerant COTS component qualification. I work to ECSS, NASA, and ISRO standards across all phases of development.
Alongside the day job I maintain an active portfolio of personal projects spanning power electronics, embedded systems, display hardware, audio electronics, software tooling, backyard astronomy, and home networking — most of which I publish openly on GitHub.
Based in Bangalore, happy to relocate for the right opportunity — one that means getting hands dirty in the lab, building and testing real hardware.
End-to-end satellite power and radiation analysis in Python + Streamlit. Orekit for orbit propagation, SHIELDOSE-2 for TID, AP-8/AE-8 trapped particle models. Covers battery/solar sizing, eclipse duration, and radiation effects for LEO.
True 3D volumetric display using persistence-of-vision. ESP32-S3 Mini rotor driving an 8×12 APA102C LED matrix; STM32G031 base station; wireless power to the spinning rotor. Key challenge: high-speed power delivery to a rotating assembly with precise rotational sync.
Custom PC peripheral: 480×320 IPS display, Cherry MX switches, rotary encoder, USB HID media controls. ESP32-S3 MCU, FRAM persistent config, WiFi for home automation. Full KiCad schematic and PCB, OpenSCAD enclosure, JLCPCB-ready Gerbers.
Phase-shifted full-bridge SMPS targeting 300 W, 0–60 V CV/CC/CP output. Current-doubler rectification, analog control loops, STM32G474 supervisor. Designed to be openly published — the kind of converter textbooks describe but rarely show end-to-end.
Universal bench PSU delivering 5 V and 3.3 V at up to 6 A per rail. Full schematic and PCB in KiCad, optimised for low output ripple and thermal performance. Hardware tested and validated — daily driver on the bench.
Daily driver is Arch Linux with Hyprland — custom Waybar, Rofi, dunst, OpenRGB. Dotfiles on GitHub ↗
Running a self-hosted homelab on a Raspberry Pi 4: Cloudflare Tunnel, Caddy reverse proxy, Authelia SSO, Pi-hole, Home Assistant, and Tailscale mesh. Config on GitHub ↗
↗ You are on that Pi right nowCarl Sagan got me here. The Voyager missions — two spacecraft still transmitting from interstellar space — remain the most extraordinary engineering achievement I know of. The idea that humans built something that will outlast every institution on Earth is the reason I work in hardware.
Currently in the planning and simulation stage for a 12" f/5 Dobsonian. A slow project — updates will land on GitHub when there is something worth showing.
↗ Upcoming: Hydrogen line radio telescope, backyard cosmic ray detectorClosely follow the engineering side of F1 — power unit development, aerodynamic philosophy, and the systems integration challenges that define competitive performance. The intersection of extreme reliability and extreme performance is exactly the problem space I want to work in professionally.
I love trains. That's it, that's the tweet.
I am currently looking for roles in European space companies, motorsport and F1 teams, and aerospace & defence firms. If you are working on hardware that needs to survive launch loads, radiation, or extreme environments — I would like to hear about it.
I am also happy to connect with other engineers, makers, amateur astronomers, and anyone with an interest in the things on this page. No agenda required.
Actively pursuing roles in 2026. Interested in positions focused on power electronics for demanding applications — space systems, motorsport, or high-reliability aerospace and defence hardware. Open to relocation worldwide. At my best when the work involves getting hands dirty in the lab — building, testing, and debugging real hardware.
