Discover my core engineering passions that drive innovation and excellence in every project.
My Journey into Science
My journey to engineering has been shaped by a multicultural background, military experience, and a passion for complex systems. Pursuing Mechanical Engineering at UBC, I bring leadership, strategic thinking, and technical skills to every challenge I face.
Born in India, raised in Dubai and South Africa, and now a citizen of Singapore, I’ve been shaped by diverse cultures and global experiences. My curiosity about how systems work led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of British Columbia, driven by a passion for designing and modeling complex systems.
I spent 2.5 transformative years in the Singapore Armed Forces, serving as a Corporal First Class with the Military Police. In this role, I managed security and operations, gaining practical experience with heavy infantry equipment and mechanical systems under high-stress conditions. This experience developed my leadership and technical skills, further fueling my interest in engineering.
Outside of engineering, I’m passionate about playing fingerstyle guitar, competing in chess (where I serve as the president of our campus club), training in Muay Thai, and experimenting in the kitchen. Each of these activities brings discipline, creativity, and strategy, complementing my engineering mindset.
As the international representative for the Okanagan Engineering Society, I curated events and advocated for international engineers on campus. I also placed first in the Okanagan Engineering Competition debate, representing UBC Okanagan at the Western Engineering Competition. These experiences have strengthened my leadership and public speaking skills, enhancing my role within the engineering community.
