Worked in CAE Meshing Postprocessor team in Advanced Simulation software development. Worked in NX-CAE Advanced Simulation (SimCenter3D) Post-Processing functionality development. I was responsible to develop and maintain the functionalities for visualization of solver results like displacement, stress etc. I have been involved in whole SDLC process through out the yearly releases which includes Functional document creation, design of functionality, implementation, unit testing and maintenance of the same. I love to be challenged and try solving a complex problem by going out of the way off my comfort levels. I am a quick learner of new technologies. I feel technology is no barrier for me to grow in industry. I take full ownership and responsibility of functionalities developed by me which as per the people is the best thing to help a company grow
