Namaste | Hello | Bonjour
I am an architect from India and I have completed the training of Computational Design and Digital Fabrication from Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, France. I am versalite and autonomous, and designing with data is something, that I like to pursue, and bring innovative ideas to the table which eventually adapt to their physical versions. My varied skill-set allows me to work with a multi-disciplinary approach towards each project. I am keen to share my knowledge, and assimilate and make the best of whatever comes along.
Professional Parcours
Currently, I am working as 'chargée d'études' in Build'In Lab at ENPC, where I am engaged in the research and development of bespoke in charge of the analysis of fabricated objects and structures using 3D scanning and Motion Capture and I equally participate in large scale 3D printing projects. Meanwhile, I also assist the professors during the courses, I train students, interns and PhD students with the equipment, and I manage the functioning of the laboratory. I am also a part of the lab's communication team.
Earlier, I was working as a RnD Engineer at Urban Canopee, France, helping the enterprise to develop more products for their catalog. The work I did, was purely based on the idea of deployable structures, and took parametric design and structural data into account. It felt great to be able to implement the acquired knowledge and learnt more in the process and develop innovative concepts.
My journey as a student and a practicing architect enhanced my key skills of being organized, multi-tasking, trouble-shooting and team management. Every step so far has allowed me to unfold new horizons and explore a new version of myself, while keeping intact my interest and enthusiasm towards work.
