About Me

Hey! I’m Dhruv, a sophomore majoring in Industrial & Systems Engineering student at Rutgers University - New Brunswick, with a growing focus on manufacturing, robotics, and practical engineering design. I’m the type of person who genuinely enjoys figuring out how things work — and occasionally why they stop working — and then designing something that works better.

Most of my experience lives in the world of CAD, prototyping, and hands-on building. I’ve worked on everything from 3D-printed assemblies to multi-wheel robotic systems to campus robotics projects aimed at solving real problems for real people. I love taking an idea from “sketch on a whiteboard” to something you can actually test, break, fix, and improve.

Right now, I’m sharpening my skills in manufacturing processes, ergonomics, and automation. I like engineering that blends creativity with impact — the kind that makes life a little easier, smarter, or more efficient. And yes, I’m also a big Formula One fan, so I definitely think way too much about performance, optimization, and precision.

At the end of the day, I’m just trying to build cool things, learn faster than I fail, and grow into an engineer who contributes meaningfully to every team and project I join.
