About
Hi! I'm Smriti, a mechanical engineering graduate from Stony Brook University. I am a maker at heart and have a lot of hands-on experience in prototyping, electronics assembly, digital fabrication, and real-time sensor systems. I'm drawn to projects where technical precision and visuals aren't competing with each other, and where getting the engineering right and getting the feeling right are the same problem. I'm looking to do work where both matter, and where instinct and taste are assets as much as technical skill
