Harsh Vibhuti
I'm a Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics student at WashU with hands-on experience in precision component design, Machining, FEA, and process automation. I've built and iterated on hardware for rocketry and avionics systems, analyzed data for regional planning on sustainability and automated data pipelines that delivered a 20x throughput.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering, Robotics & Mathematics student at Washington University in St. Louis, with a mathematics degree already behind me from St. Edward's University. That dual background is the point—I'm comfortable moving between the whiteboard and the workshop, formulating the model, then machining, printing, wiring, and testing until the real thing behaves like the math said it should.
My work spans flight avionics and a soil-sampling rocketry payload, bulk-metallic-glass materials research, and Python automation that reduced a regional agency's QA workload by 95%. Across all of it I've learned to define problems clearly, respect constraints, iterate through failure, and communicate technical findings to people who don't speak engineering.
I'm looking for an engineering or robotics internship where I can own a piece of hardware from concept to testing, learn from experienced engineers, and leave the team with something that actually works.
