A personal notebook for simulations, stories, places, and life.

I’m Vidya — a mechanical engineer who works on simulations, structures, and complex machines, loves books and movies, plays tennis year-round, travels for food and perspective, and keeps learning from every city, story, and problem.

20+

Years of engineering, many cities, and a life shaped by curiosity.

CAE, durability, structures, EVs, hydrogen platforms, aviation, books, movies, food, family, tennis, and the small memories that make each place unforgettable.

A balanced life, not just a résumé.

This site is intentionally personal. It includes my engineering career, but also the books I read, movies I love, places I visited, places I dream of visiting, food memories, family moments, and ideas I keep returning to.

Precision

From finite element models to real hardware, I enjoy bringing clarity to complex technical problems.

Curiosity

Books, films, travel, food, and people keep me open to different ways of seeing the world.

Memory

Some places stay with me because of snow, food, beaches, family milestones, tennis courts, or a first glimpse of something new.

“Engineering is about understanding simulations, structures, and real-world behavior deeply. Life is about staying curious enough to keep learning from everything.”
