About
Engineer by training, creative by nature.
I'm Karan — a design engineer in my final year at Imperial College London, where I've spent the last four years learning to think across disciplines. My work sits at the overlap of hardware, software, and human experience.
I've designed medical devices for arthritis patients, built wireless charging systems for public spaces, run CFD simulations on mini-supercars, and developed AI-powered data pipelines. The through-line is always the same: understand the problem deeply, then build something that actually works.
Outside of engineering, I'm a guitarist (Trinity Grade 8, Rock & Pop) and audio nerd. I produce music, tinker with signal processing, and explore how machine learning can push creative boundaries. I speak English, Hindi, Marathi, and Spanish.
