Hi, I’m Ved. I'm a recent graduate from the University of Virginia with a B.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (May 2025). I design, simulate, and build high-performance systems—ranging from aircraft and hybrid rockets to advanced automation tools.

As VP of Hoos Flying, I led 100+ students in designing a competition-ready aircraft. For my capstone, I developed a hybrid rocket, leading combustion chamber analysis, manufacturing, and DAQ system development.

I blend engineering with code—building tools to iteratively analyze CFD, rocket analysis, and aircraft design.
