Over the past six years, Satvik has developed a deep fondness and gratitude for the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute and the ways it has shaped him. Exposure to competitions such as First Tech Challenge and the Synopsys Science Fair sparked his passion for Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, two disciplines he hopes to pursue in college. Throughout his time at SLI, Satvik has gained valuable experience in CAD, machining, and programming, skills he plans to carry with him through college and beyond.

Outside of school, Satvik enjoys spending time with his friends at the gym or simply grabbing a bite with them. He is beyond grateful for the lifelong friendships he has formed during his time at SLI. He also loves contributing to his car detailing business, South Bay Details (@south.baydetails), where he gets to combine his passion for cars with his entrepreneurial spirit.

Following his college education, Satvik aims to create robotic devices that ease the lives of the elderly and those suffering from serious health conditions.
