@giridharanbaskar
Design Engineer at Topaaz Industries building production-ready steel building products; developed robotic systems for crop disease detection and precision harvesting.
What I'm looking for
At Topaaz Industries, I design roll-formed steel building products, including standing-seam roofing, cladding, purlins, and decking. I create production layouts and components in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, and review drawings for compliance, tolerances, and producibility.
In my M.Tech projects, I developed Oxy-Vent, a working closed-loop control model for autonomous ventilation adjustment using blood-oxygen sensing. I also worked on Robo-Harvest, which reduced crop damage while improving harvest throughput, and Tomato-Guard, a mobile robotic platform for autonomous crop scanning and disease classification.
