I like problems
with moving parts.
I'm Prahalad—an aspiring mechanical engineer building flight systems, embedded projects, and useful machine-learning tools. I care about the moment an idea has to work in the real world.

01 / SELECTED WORK
Things I've
made and studied.
A few threads from the workshop, the terminal, and everywhere in between.

FLIGHT SYSTEMS / IN PROGRESS
UAV systems
workbench
My hands-on lane for aircraft, electronics, integration, and learning by getting closer to a flying system. The focus is on real engineering constraints—not just a clean demo.

EXPERIMENTS / MODELS
Model comparison, controlled
Twenty-two registered neural-network architectures, all compared through a consistent experimental setup. A good reminder that careful measurement is part of making.
22 architectures tested
02 / HOW I WORK
Curious enough to start.
Stubborn enough to finish.
Start with the physical thing
I'm drawn to work where code meets mechanisms, sensors, forces, and constraints.
Make feedback visible
Instrument the system, run the comparison, and let evidence steer the next iteration.
Keep learning in public
Projects are a record of what I'm figuring out—and a way to invite better questions.
03 / RIGHT NOW
A student with
a long runway.
I'm a rising senior at Eastlake High School, applying for fall 2027 with an eye toward mechanical engineering, aerospace, and hardware.
