About
Hi! My name is Smriti and I am currently a senior studying mechanical engineering at Stony Brook University. I am a maker at heart and have a lot of hands-on experience in prototyping, electronics assembly, digital fabrication, real-time sensor systems, with a strong research-driven approach to my work.
My dream environment is one where visual design meets functional engineering. I'm looking to join a team that values creativity, curiosity, and collaboration, where I can apply both my imagination and technical skills to bring ideas to life.
