## About

I lead the hardware and electronics function at Ossus Biorenewables, where we build electroactive microbial reactor systems for green hydrogen generation and industrial effluent treatment\. I joined as the first and only Power electronics engineer, and over 5 years built a team of 8 across embedded, IoT, hardware, PLC automation and cross\-functional engineering\. I've personally designed and deployed systems at Tata Steel \(Jamshedpur\), ONGC \(Mehsana\), Eternis Fine Chemicals \(Pune\), and Sayaji Maize Products \(Ahmedabad\)\. On the power electronics side, I design custom Electrode Power Units — from 40A to 160A per channel — that replaced expensive off\-the\-shelf alternatives at 55% lower cost\. I also led the migration from Arduino/NodeMCU\-based automation from the initial days to Siemens PLC, building the entire PLC capability in\-house from scratch\. My background is in power electronics \(M\.Tech, BMS College of Engineering\) with hands\-on experience in circuit design and debugging, PCB design, and building fully automated pilot plant systems from lab prototypes to on\-site installation and commissioning\. I have always thrived under great leaders and tight\-knit teams\. I want to keep doing that while solving real, meaningful problems\.
