R&D Engineer · Polymers, Electrospinning & Additive Manufacturing
I turn polymers — including waste and bio-based feedstocks — into functional fibres and materials. Outside the lab I design and build: parametric CAD, 3D-printed functional parts, electronics projects and self-hosted home servers.

- Materials R&D — electrospinning and polymer processing: solution rheology, spinning setups, characterisation (FTIR, SEM, rheology, mechanical testing). Publications on Google Scholar.
- Design & fabrication — parametric CAD in Onshape, FDM printing, functional prototypes. Through Tattva-3D I print and design parts on request.
- Self-hosting & embedded — Raspberry Pi, micro:bit, Linux, Docker.
- Web — sites built with Jekyll and Astro + Tailwind.
