During my time at PSG College of Technology's Research and Development Department, I served as a Control System Engineer, where I gained valuable experience in mechanical design by creating 3D models and technical drawings for autonomous mobile robots using SolidWorks. I collaborated closely with the engineering team to iterate on product prototypes, ensuring they met design specifications and performance requirements.
Furthermore, my internship at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-D) as a Warehouse Automation Intern allowed me to apply my mechanical design skills in developing a Mobile Manipulator, which was simulated using Robot Operating System (ROS). I was responsible for designing the mechanical components of the manipulator and ensuring its functionality for navigation and localization tasks.
At ADNA AUTOMATION, I worked as a Control System Engineer, where I expanded my mechanical design expertise by developing a Mobile application for Smart home automation systems. I also fabricated Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) for smart home devices, ensuring they met design standards and quality requirements.

Im a recent graduate of the University of Waterloo with a Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and a Bachelor of Engineering in Robotics and Automation from PSG College of Technology.
