About

I’m an Electrical Engineer currently working as a Quality Engineer at ASK Automobiles Ltd., with experience in quality assurance, die casting, machining processes, product inspection, and manufacturing quality systems. Previously, I worked as a Quality Engineer (Trainee) in New Product Development at TVS Sundaram Clayton, where I gained hands-on experience in product validation, PPAP, APQP, PFMEA, PFC, QCPC, CMM inspection, gauge validation, and root cause analysis. I contributed to 20+ PPAPs and supported process improvements that helped reduce machining-related defects by 15%. At ASK Automobiles, I am further developing my expertise in die-casting and machining quality, process monitoring, defect analysis, inspection methods, and continuous improvement, with a focus on identifying root causes and improving product and process quality. My technical strengths include CMM report interpretation, attribute & variable gauge validation, 8D problem-solving, rejection Pareto analysis, root cause analysis, process improvement, and quality inspection. During my B.Tech, I led the development of an Air Pollution Monitoring Drone using ESP32 and GPS modules for real-time air quality monitoring. The project achieved a podium finish at the BPUT State-Level Drone Competition, reflecting my interest in automation, embedded systems, and engineering innovation. Tools & Skills: SAP | Minitab | AutoCAD | PFMEA | PPAP | APQP | 8D | CMM | Root Cause Analysis | Pareto Analysis | Gauge Validation | Die Casting | Machining | Quality Inspection | Process Improvement I’m passionate about continuous learning, advanced manufacturing, quality improvement, automation, and engineering innovation, and I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, solve challenging problems, and create measurable improvements in manufacturing.
