About Me

I’m Keertik, a master's mechanical engineering student at Georgia Tech, from Baltimore, MD.

I was a big fan of outer space, cars, airplanes, and robots in my childhood, so going into engineering just seemed like a natural fit. And I’m sure glad I did. My interests lie in mechanical design and manufacturing, especially in the automotive and aerospace industries.

At Georgia Tech, I have been involved in clubs like Design Build Fly, where I am designing a small plane to maximize payload capacity and minimize aircraft weight and takeoff distance, as well as RoboJackets, where I was an engineer on a self-driving go-kart project, and the club-wide shop manager. I’m also a Prototyping Instructor at the Flowers Invention Studio, the largest student-run makerspace in the country, where I help Georgia Tech students realize class, research, or personal project ideas using the machine tools in the space.

When I’m not engineering, I enjoy going to the gym, playing some Nintendo Switch, and rooting for the Baltimore Ravens and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football teams.
