About

I’m a Mechanical Engineer working in manufacturing with a strong interest in process engineering, quality control, and continuous improvement. Currently, I work as a Graduate Engineer Trainee at Agrawal Metal Works, where I focus on defect analysis, surface inspection, material testing, and process monitoring across casting, rolling, annealing, pickling, and finishing operations. My work involves identifying process issues, supporting corrective actions, and improving product quality through root cause analysis and data-driven decision making. Previously, during my internship at Jindal Stainless, I gained hands-on exposure to hot rolling operations, equipment maintenance, and predictive maintenance initiatives in a large-scale steel manufacturing environment. Key areas of interest: • Process Engineering & Process Control • Quality Control & Quality Assurance • Root Cause Analysis & Problem Solving • Surface Defect Detection & Inspection Systems • Manufacturing Operations & Continuous Improvement I’m passionate about learning from real shop-floor challenges and growing as a Process / Quality Engineer in the manufacturing industry.
