Driven by ambition, daring to change the world.

Hello! I’m

SIDDH.

I'm a master's student in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I started building robots as a curious 10-year-old and figured I wanted to do this for a lifetime. With a rich history of building and leading award-winning robotics teams and mentoring future innovators, I'm now focused on empowering and driving engineering breakthroughs.

“It’s about the journey,” they say, “not the destination.” This is my journey.

11+ years of leading competitive robotics teams

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
