Trophy Case
Welcome to my trophy case of victories and failures. While not every story has a "happy" ending, each project I have worked on has taught me valuable lessons on how to fail forwards and improve as an engineer and a leader.
About Me.
My name is Dhanush Tipparaju and I am a Junior at Purdue University studying Mechanical Engineering. I want to work in the defense industry or manufacturing process automation. I've recently developed an interest in Sales Engineering and would like to gain experince there if possible too. I love robotics, rocketry, and spending time with family and friends!

Responsible Engineer
Purdue Orbital
I am currently a Responsible Engineer on the Airframe sub-team of Purdue Orbital. My focus is on the development of the Stratos missions, both the Mark Launches and the Numbered Launches. My ideology towards leadership is to help develop my team's understanding of key design concepts and promote their growth inside and outside the club by teaching industry-standard safety practices and giving them projects that utilize hard and soft skills commonly seen in the industry.
