About

With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and advanced studies in machine design from RV College of Engineering, I have cultivated deep expertise in finite element analysis (FEA) and durability simulations. My professional journey spans roles across leading organizations where I contributed to durability analyses, bionic optimization for weight reduction, and the development of advanced methods for CAE simulation. These experiences have honed my skills in tools like ANSA, Hypermesh, Zbrush, and Siemens NX while allowing me to drive innovations in structural optimizations for NVH performance improvements in automotive components.
