About

Technical Lead and people manager with 7.5 years of experience across hardware design, board bring-up, board validation, EMI/EMC testing, and regulatory compliance for telecom and networking products. My technical experience spans across design and development, functional validation, hardware troubleshooting, and pre-compliance and certification activities covering IEC, CISPR, FCC, NEBS, and UL requirements. I lead end-to-end hardware program execution from concept to release, coordinating cross-functional teams, and managing schedules, risks, and stakeholder communication. With the recent Wipro Project Management Certification, I combine hands-on engineering expertise with project management and people leadership to deliver reliable hardware, mentor engineers, and strengthen team execution. Open to connecting with professionals across hardware engineering and program management.
