About Me

I want to make high impact in Manufacturing/Quality/Reliability. Achieved 100% on time delivery and 96% quality with 4+ years of work experience, working for OEM's and consulting firms. I enjoyed collaborating and connecting with various departments internally, connecting with suppliers and vendors externally to provide exceptional attention to applied technologies, which ensures flawless operation with high customer focus, to bring exponential growth and productivity.

I believe in the concept of Design Thinking and a fan of the book written by CEO of IDEO Tim Brown, where he explains the importance of team work, communication and ideas. I provided creative design and innovative manufacturing possibilities to reduce manufacturing costs by 20%. Activities varied from client presentations, CAD modelling, manufacturing concepts to 3D printing, Rapid prototyping, and Hazard Assessments and Quality control and validations.

Started my career with bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, realized the need for broader perspective and greater knowledge. This excitement to learn new subjects and methods made me pursue my Master’s in Industrial Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station.

INDUSTRIAL

Production & Inventory Control

Multidimensional issues faced in modern industry for inventory control were handled and a tool was developed to address these issues. Human factors and ergonomic ideas were closely complemented while developing this tool.

Data Analysis

Handled large manufacturing and performance data to make calculated decisions and presented it to customers and senior management. Various basic techniques such as PCA, regression were used to predict the overall performance and to classify items. The cross validation errors were calculated to rate the results.

Lean Production Line/Lean Manufacturing

Multiple solutions to establish high impact in lean production line was suggested to the customer. Statistical Process Control techniques was established for advanced quality. No cost, low cost, high cost solutions with quality study was implemented with the help of amazing tools such as SOP, FMEA, A3, IDEF models,CAD tools etc.

MECHANICAL

Engine Manufacturing

Developed complete 3D definition for Aero engine casings. We worked on over 6000 dimensions for a 5" X 5" component implementing GD&T to achieve a 95% quality. Developed the complete process plan to manufacture the component using latest machinery (Transfer of Technology).

Jig and Fixture Design

Developed fixture concepts and models to support CNC machines and CMM machines to perform with the best efficiencies. This supported to transform the industry to latest technology (Industrie 4.0).

CMM Programming & Simulation

Created CMM program and tools to achieve high quality of the manufactured components. Developed First article inspection reports which were automated to analyze and compare the results obtained from the CMM machine.

ELECTRICAL

Electrical Wiring Interconnection System

Wire harnessing and routing was done for Aircrafts. Interior design for aircrafts to manage the wiring connections. Developed VBA excel tools to analyze the connected ports.

Reliability Engineering

Analyzed the independent requirements of the flight control system using a top down approach with the help of Fault tree analysis. Common mode analysis was done to identify the components that would lead to catastrophic or hazardous events.

Wind Energy Harnessing

Developed complete wind turbine design including maintenance equipments. Nascelle, tower & hub were the focus. Sheet metal, surfacing and solid fabrication was involved in the process.
