About Me
I’m an enthusiastic Mechanical Engineering student passionate about robotics, automation, and Industry 4.0. My academic foundation and hands-on industry experiences have shaped me into someone who thrives on solving complex challenges, from designing vibration fixtures for PCB testing to creating ergonomic assistive devices that make a real impact.
My work is fueled by a fascination with miniaturization, automation, and manufacturability. I’m particularly drawn to bridging the gap between design concepts and real-world applications through CAD modeling, FEA simulation, and rapid prototyping.
- Interests: Hardware Product Design, DFAM, Human-Robot Interaction, and more 🙂
- CAD and Simulation: SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Ansys, Abaqus, Fusion 360, NI Multisim, Simulink
- Engineering Methods: DFM/DFA, prototyping, root cause analysis, GD&T (ASME Y14.5), ISO standards
- Programming: C++, MATLAB, Visual Basic, Arduino IDE
- Tools: Microsoft Office, Minitab, PowerApps, First Aid/CPR/AED

Experience
- Increased reporting efficiency for 15+ projects by automating LLCR data analysis using Minitab and Excel.
- Reduced report turnaround time by 30 percent by co-developing a PowerApp integrated with SharePoint for structured customer failure submissions.
- Accelerated test setups for 10+ client projects (incl. Cisco) by designing custom vibration fixtures in SolidWorks for complex PCB layouts.
- Resolved qualification test failures through root cause analysis, ensuring compliance with ISO standards.
- Achieved less than 2 percent error in FEA deformation analysis by optimizing mesh refinement in Ansys and Abaqus.
- Improved simulation speed by 40 percent through mesh convergence studies that reduced element count.
- Enhanced reliability of LPBF part simulations by 30 percent by correlating deformation behavior with mesh density.
- Led product development for a client-sponsored medical device (“PALMS”), redesigning a patent-backed tablet holder to improve ergonomics, integrate battery housing and accessibility features, and incorporate a 180° rotary detent mechanism.
- Reduced prototype lead time by 40 percent by designing 100+ parts in SolidWorks and Fusion 360 using DFM/DFA principles.
- Cut lab downtime by 25 percent by maintaining and calibrating 30+ Industry 4.0 machines.
- Directed a 15-member interdisciplinary team to develop a SolidWorks-designed wearable device, enhancing spatial awareness for visually impaired users and reducing navigation error by 60 percent in user tests.
- Engineered a closed-loop system with Arduino microcontrollers, ultrasonic sensors, and vibration motors, programming control logic in C++ for sub-200 millisecond object detection.
