- Designed welded frames, structural components and sheet metal guards in SolidWorks, improving manufacturability and supporting heavy equipment production by 15 percent. - Created adjustable multi component packaging machine for 14 box sizes, improving adaptability and reducing setup time by 25 percent. - Created fabrication drawings, BOMs and AutoCAD documentation that reduced assembly errors by 20 percent and improved build consistency across operators. - Resolved equipment build issues by reviewing alignment, clearances and component behavior, improving mechanical reliability and cutting manufacturing time by about 10 percent. In my role, I developed detailed process sheets and stage drawings using AutoCAD to ensure the accuracy and quality of components during manufacturing. I gained hands-on experience by assembling complex subassemblies, including one with over 100 components. At Stelda, I designed a fully-functional machine in SOLIDWORKS with 80+ components and multiple subassemblies, capable of erecting, filling, and sealing boxes of 14 different sizes. Collaborating closely with manufacturing, design, and factory teams, I focused on aligning product designs with customer needs, emphasizing the importance of customer-oriented manufacturing.

About

As a Research Assistant at the University of Toronto, I am deeply involved in developing innovative solutions in the field of advanced composite materials. My current projects focus on enhancing material durability and performance through the implementation of cutting-edge composite techniques. Collaborating with a team, I have successfully optimized composite processing, significantly reducing material waste and improving efficiency. Previously, I honed my technical skills as a Technical Process Intern at Bindwel & Stelda, where I designed custom packaging systems and improved manufacturing processes. My academic journey includes a Master of Engineering in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Bombay, where I specialized in advanced manufacturing and product design. I possess a robust set of technical skills, including expertise in fiber-reinforced polymers, product design, and computational fluid dynamics. My software proficiency spans industry-standard tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and ANSYS. I am certified in SOLIDWORKS CAD Design and Lean Six Sigma, which complement my technical acumen with process improvement strategies. What sets me apart is my ability to blend technical expertise with innovative problem-solving and a collaborative spirit. I am passionate about driving engineering solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability. I am eager to bring my skills and experience to a forward-thinking organization where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow professionally. Let's connect to explore how I can add value to your team.
