About

My academic background in Mechanical Engineering and Renewable and Sustainable Energy Technologies, coupled with my practical experience, has fostered a deep passion for hydrogen energy sources and a strong desire to contribute to the development of sustainable technologies. My academic journey began with undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing. Here, I developed a solid foundation in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, material science, and kinematics, which are crucial for understanding the complexities of hydrogen-powered systems. I particularly excelled in modules with practical applications, gaining valuable insights into system design. My final year project, designing a renewable power plant utilizing solar energy for hydrogen production through electrolysis, further solidified my interest in hydrogen as an energy carrier and sparked my curiosity about the challenges of its practical implementation, especially within engine and generator applications. To further specialize in renewable energy, I am currently pursuing an MSc in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Technologies at Northumbria University. This program has provided a comprehensive understanding of various renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and hydrogen, and their potential to address the global energy crisis. My master's dissertation will focus on the hydrogen economy, exploring hydrogen production from various sources and aiming to identify cost-effective methods for commercialization, including exploring the intricacies of water electrolysis. I am particularly drawn to the research topic of hydrogen-based energy research. The transition to a hydrogen-based economy presents unique challenges, notably the durability and reliability of materials under hydrogen's influence. Beyond my academic pursuits, I have gained practical experience with SolidWorks during my time at Yali Mobility, IITRP, Chennai. I was involved in the manufacturing of various vehicle parts, which provided invaluable experience in resource management, budgeting, vendor management, and the practical challenges of bringing a new product to market. This experience has given me a realistic perspective on the challenges and opportunities within the hydrogen sector, particularly in commercialization. I also have hands-on experience in CAD modelling using AutoCAD, CATIA, and SolidWorks, and knowledge of ANSYS Workbench for stress analysis.

Technical Manager at CADD Centre Training Services Pvt Ltd., Mar 2026 - Present · 5 mos, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, Working as a technical manager

Design Engineer at Yali Mobility, Jan 2024 - Sep 2024 · 9 mos, The start-up concentrated on building a 3-wheeler for physically challenged persons in wheelchairs. The company was in the pilot manufacturing phase where the designed vehicle was sent to various colleges for trial driving testing with live subjects to check the performance and plug the problems that may arise. I worked on the assembly of the vehicle docking system, ramp mechanism. I also worked on the manufacturing of the parts required for the assembly of the above mentioned parts and oversaw the lathe, milling and laser cutting process required for the manufacturing of the above mentioned parts

Associate Mechanical Engineer at Yali Mobility, Jan 2024 - Sep 2024 · 9 mos, • I started as an intern for two months where I learned the intricacies of the company and then was promoted to associate engineer where I started to work in various departments but mainly in off-site production where most of the parts for the three-wheeler vehicle has been manufactured. • The work included searching for new vendors, reviewing the final draft of the parts and reviewing the parts received from the manufacturer.

Intern at Sundaram Clayton Limited, Oct 2022 - Feb 2023 · 5 mos, The company manufactured engine casting parts for cars and heavy vehicles. I worked in the New Product Development department where the decision is made if a part is feasible to manufacture in the given budget and design. I worked directly under the team leader who was in-charge for a number of project managers who worked on different companies' proposals. I helped the team leader in organizing the reports from different departments

Intern at MJ Casting, Dec 2019 - Dec 2019 · 1 mo, The company prepared casting for smaller car parts. I interned in the maintenance of the die casting department
