5 years delivering 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, and I've run Bode plot analysis and production sign-off on 11 flight converters across 6 operational satellites.
I approach hardware the way most engineers approach a puzzle they can't put down. Instinct and understanding first — why does the circuit behave this way — simulation to confirm. I build things outside work because the problems don't stop when the working day does.
Based in Bangalore, open to relocation worldwide for the right opportunity — one that means getting hands dirty in the lab, building and testing real hardware.
True 3D volumetric display using persistence-of-vision. ESP32-S3 Mini rotor driving an 8×12 APA102C LED matrix; STM32G031 base station; wireless power transfer to the spinning rotor. Key challenges: high-speed power delivery to a rotating assembly and precise rotational synchronisation.
Personal design of a phase-shifted full-bridge SMPS targeting 300 W, 0–60 V CV/CC output. Design covers converter topology, synchronous rectification, current-doubler rectification, transformer design, and closed-loop compensation. STM32G474 supervisor. Intended as an openly published reference design — the kind textbooks describe but rarely show end-to-end.
Full design-cycle embedded project: ESP32-S3 MCU, 480×320 IPS display, Cherry MX switch matrix, FRAM persistent config, WiFi home automation, USB HID driver. Custom KiCad PCB and OpenSCAD enclosure. Demonstrates end-to-end ownership from schematic through mechanical integration.
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.
End-to-end satellite power and radiation analysis in Python + Streamlit. Orekit for orbit propagation, SHIELDOSE-2 for TID calculations, AP-8/AE-8 trapped particle models. Covers battery and solar array sizing, eclipse duration, and radiation effects for LEO missions. Intentionally excludes ITAR-restricted models.
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.
Planning a 12" f/5 Dobsonian. A slow project — updates on GitHub when there's 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.
