Vimal received a bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of Maryland and pursued a job in California at the Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) where he was responsible for testing the systems that were used to communicate with all of NASA's deep space assets. After JPL, Vimal worked for a defense contractor, Northrop Grumman, where he designed and developed a cutting-edge imaging system for a US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft. He then transitioned into the consulting world and became a lead engineer for the United States GPS program. During this time, he earned a master's degree in engineering from UCLA. After a brief stint in the strategy consulting world, he returned to his engineering roots and took up a position at Boeing designing satellites. He then took up an incredible role at Palantir Technologies in the up and coming Silicon Beach. He is now back at Northrop Grumman working on a US Navy drone.
In addition to his full-time work experience, Vimal has purued numerous internships at prestigous instiutions such as as Raytheon and NASA. In his free time, he enjoys fitness activities, traveling and flying airplanes. He is also the founder and host of a popular podcast called STEM Radio.
