SolidWorks · AutoCAD · ANSYS Workbench · FEA · Additive Manufacturing · Statistical Quality Control. Targeting Mechanical, Application, and Manufacturing/Quality Engineer roles in the Chicago metro area.
I'm a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Deccan College of Engineering and Technology, certified as a Professional in Mechanical CADD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS Workbench) through an ISO 9001:2015-aligned program. My engineering foundation spans FEA-informed design, additive manufacturing, statistical quality control, and materials science.
My final-year project — designing and analyzing a 3D-printed piston using SolidWorks, ANSYS, and Minitab (Taguchi DOE) — gave me end-to-end experience from CAD design through FEA simulation, design of experiments, and FDM fabrication. My internship at Dynamique Industries put SQC methods into practice, reducing component defect rates by 12%.
I supplement engineering with Python and SQL for data-driven quality and manufacturing analysis. Selected as an SME at Amazon for fast learning, technical troubleshooting, and cross-functional escalation ownership — skills I bring directly to engineering roles. I'm authorized to work in the U.S. (Green Card, no sponsorship needed), based in Wood Dale, IL, targeting the Chicago metro area.
"Precision in design, integrity in manufacturing — that's the standard I bring to every project."

Engineering tools, software, and competencies I work with at depth.
Engineering projects spanning CAD design, FEA simulation, DOE, and physical fabrication.
Collaborated in a 2-person team to design a piston in SolidWorks, sized its internal diameter to a mating O-ring, and fabricated it via Fused Deposition Modeling (PLA). Applied a Taguchi Design of Experiments in Minitab across nozzle diameter, layer height, and travel speed to quantify their effect on print time — finding time decreased as each parameter increased. Performed thermal (convection) analysis and a mesh/tessellation study in ANSYS to evaluate the piston's thermal behavior and print-resolution trade-offs.
Performed statistical quality control on mechanical components at Dynamique Industries, Secunderabad. Applied SQC methods and engineering standards to identify manufacturing defects, achieving a 12% reduction in component defect rate. Assisted in root-cause analysis and recommended process corrections to the production team.
AI-driven topology optimization engine for mechanical components in additive manufacturing. Uses neural networks to learn optimal material distributions — combining mechanical engineering domain knowledge with computational intelligence to accelerate FEA-based design cycles.
Verified engineering and technical credentials.
Professional roles that built my technical, analytical, and leadership skills.
