Raghav Naidu
mechatronic & mechanical engineer — raised in the Seychelles, trained in the UK

I'm Raghav: a mechatronics and mechanical engineer who moves comfortably between controller design, CAD, simulation, and the workshop floor. currently adventuring with nanometers — chasing precision at a scale where a few atoms make all the difference.

an engineer since childhood, I've always liked taking things apart to see how they move — now I design, simulate, and build the systems that make them move well.

focus areas

built to solve where design meets control

01

Controls & systems

PID and fuzzy controller design, Simulink modelling, and closed-loop tuning for real-world dynamic systems.

02

Mechanical design

Concept-to-CAD design in SolidWorks and Fusion 360, with GD&T-driven tolerancing and design for manufacture.

03

Simulation & analysis

FEA in ANSYS and multibody dynamics in MSC Adams, used to validate designs before they're built.

04

Robotics & fabrication

Hands-on prototyping and 3D printing, taking a design from virtual model to physical, working build.
