Neel Maheshwari
Mechanical engineer building practical systems across CAD, thermal testing, robotic 3D printing, and product development.
Professional Work
Engineering judgment across static equipment and mobility products.
My experience combines technical analysis, CAD-heavy development, and manufacturing-aware prototyping in high-consequence mechanical contexts.
Projects
Robotics, mobility, and autonomous systems shaped through iteration.
These builds highlight practical prototyping, mechanical design, controls thinking, and the discipline to move from constraints to working demonstrations.
Research
Experimental engineering across thermal systems and emerging research.
My research work spans compressor-test infrastructure, instrumentation, electrical enclosure design, and new lab work that is still developing.
Technical Stack
A practical toolkit for design, analysis, fabrication, and controls.
The portfolio is organized around the tools and processes used repeatedly across my work: CAD, programming, lab fabrication, and core mechanical engineering fundamentals.
