Aarush

As a mechanical engineering student at UC Berkeley with a passion for designing and fabricating complex mechanical systems, I thrive at the union of creativity and precision.

From leading the design of Berkeley’s first human-carrying eVTOL aircraft to developing a high-value payload leveling system with ±0.1° accuracy at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory, I bring my ideas to life through CAD-driven design, hands-on prototyping, and an interdisciplinary approach that bridges mechanical design with aerodynamics, structural analysis, and manufacturing.

Fluent in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Creo, Rapid Prototyping, MATLAB, and more, I translate early-stage concepts into robust, test-ready hardware. Beyond the lab, I’ve driven energy efficiency initiatives that saved over 718,000 kWh annually, and built devices such as CrutchGuard, an injury-prevention system for crutch users.

I’m passionate about engineering tangible solutions for real-world challenges, driving end-to-end development of innovative ideas powering next-generation defense and aerospace technologies.
