About Pranay Dave
I’m usually thinking about:• Systems that move through air or space• Ideas that start messy and end up surprisingly solid• Problems where the answer isn’t obvious or written downI spend my time building across two worlds: Things that flyRockets, airplanes, propulsion systems, CubeSats, and aerospace simulations, where physics is non-negotiable and iteration is everything. Things built from scratchEarly-stage startups and product experiments shaped by curiosity, fast iteration, and real-world testing.I enjoy the messy middle, the phase where assumptions break, models get rewritten, features get cut, and clarity slowly emerges. Sometimes that turns into a flight-ready system. Sometimes it turns into a product people actually use.If it involves engineering, execution, and a little creative chaos, I’m probably interested.
