+ Hi, I’m Pratham.
Mechanical Engineering @ RMIT × BITS Pilani
I work across robotics, aerospace and prototyping, taking ideas through CAD, simulation, fabrication and physical testing.

I enjoy engineering most when the assumptions in the computer
finally meet the constraints of the workshop.
01 / SELECTED ENGINEERING WORK
Three projects.
One thread: making it work.
01 / AEROSPACE STRUCTURESView full projectBoeing Aerostructures Australia × RMIT
Developing a manufacturable composite structural concept through CAD, FEA, rapid prototyping, composite fabrication and physical testing.
See the full case studyWarman Design & Build · BITS Pilani
Designing, assembling and testing a mechanical collection robot using geared motors, servos and Arduino-based control.
See the full case studyRUASRT
Ground-station engineering for a counter-UAV system, connecting mechanical packaging, components and system-level thinking.
See the full case study02 / A LITTLE ENGINEERING CURIOSITY
A failure is a starting point for asking better questions about the design, the assumptions and the test.
I’m interested in the route from a clever geometry to a repeatable process.
The physical build is where the model meets assembly, interfaces and workshop constraints.
A quick physical model can make the next design decision much clearer.
03 / PEOPLE, IDEAS & INITIATIVE
CONQUEST / STARTUP ACCELERATOR
Head of Mentor Relations
Working inside a startup accelerator taught me a different kind of systems problem: connecting founders, mentors and expertise quickly enough to move companies forward.
I worked with founders, investors and executives, developing coordination and mentor-matching workflows to support the accelerator.
FOUNDERHUB / RMIT ACTIVATOR
Best Startup · Selected by audience vote
A moment from the entrepreneurial side of my work: communicating an idea and connecting it with the people in the room.
04 / THE TOOLBOX
Across the screen
and the workbench.
05 / ABOUT PRATHAM
I’m a Mechanical Engineering student completing my degree across BITS Pilani and RMIT University in Melbourne.
I gravitate toward work where mechanical design leaves the screen: robotics, manufacturing, aerospace structures, prototyping and testing.
Long term, I want to understand how great engineering organisations turn early prototypes into products that can be manufactured, deployed and trusted in the real world.
