About
I'm a mechanical engineer with 16+ years of experience in new product development, from early concept through to production release. Most of my career has been in consumer electronics and smart appliances. For the past couple of years I've been leading the mechanical engineering team at a robotics startup in Bengaluru, where I own the mechanical direction of the product and work across engineering, manufacturing, and operations to get things built. On the supply chain side, I've worked directly with contract manufacturers in China — travelling on-site, running vendor audits, managing quality and delivery. That's something I've done across multiple programs now, not just once. Outside of my full-time work, I occasionally advise early-stage hardware startups on product architecture, design for manufacturing, and getting their first product to a contract manufacturer. If you're building a physical product and need a second opinion on your mechanical approach or vendor strategy, feel free to reach out. Areas I work in: mechanical systems design, NPD, DFM/DFA, injection molding, sheet metal, casting, China OEM management, reliability and validation.
