Navigating the Future of UAS & Aviation
RPC Holder (Small Category RPAS, Rotorcraft) with hands-on expertise in multirotor assembly, flight controller setup, and MRO maintenance. Actively advancing toward Remote Pilot Instructor (RPI) certification.
Drone Pilot & Aerospace Technologist
I am a safety-conscious, DGCA Drone Rules 2021-compliant Remote Pilot with extensive practical multirotor build work—spanning airframe assembly, propulsion integration, and flight controller setup.
My aeronautical maintenance background includes intensive internships in AME/MRO complexes, equipping me with deep knowledge of MRO workflows, inspection procedures, and airworthiness documentation. I combine hands-on build skills with professional flight operations to execute precise, safe mission logs.
