About Me from the Past (2021)

Hey!

You've made it this far so you must know enough about my journey. Thank you for taking your time browsing my portfolio. I must say that this portal is just the beginning of many more experiences and exciting projects to add onto.

I'm a multi-faceted engineer who loves design innovation, problem-solving and project management. My curiousity towards aerospace ignited in early 2000s when I was 5, stunned by the shock waves and the after-burn of Su-M30s &  F-16s at a local airshow in Bengaluru.  I have grown up watching documentaries on the Apollo Missions and since then, aspiring to become an astronaut. Its been over a decade, my enthusiasm and curiousity towards air and spacecraft has been growing exponentially with time.

Graduating with a first class BEng Honours in Aerospace Systems has brought me one step closer towards my goal and I'm keen on expanding my current skillsets on real-life projects and industries.

Apart from engineering, I enjoy clicking pictures mainly focused on Aviation, Travel and Astrophotography. Alongside, a drone pilot, filming breath-taking shots from the bird-eye views. A hobbist in poster design, website building and IoT applications using Raspberry Pi.

About Me, At Present

I’m Yash Kumar, a Project Manager in the space sector, helping transform complex engineering concepts into real-world solutions. My work combines technology, systems design, and collaboration, with a strong focus on translating technical ideas into structured delivery.

At the Satellite Applications Catapult, I manage multidisciplinary projects that drive innovation across space missions, advanced communications, and satellite technologies. I’m passionate about creating clarity and alignment within teams, ensuring that every project moves forward with purpose and precision.What I enjoy most about my work is being at the intersection of engineering, innovation, and people. I’m energised by environments where new ideas evolve into something tangible and meaningful, where technology becomes an enabler of progress.

Outside of work, I’m deeply interested in aviation and space photography, travelling, and exploring how design and technology come together creatively. Whether it’s experimenting with IoT projects or building digital spaces that tell stories, I’m always looking for ways to connect curiosity with impact.

Every project, collaboration, and challenge adds to my journey — one that I’m grateful for and eager to keep building on.

Project Manager, Space
