What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine operational excellence with hands-on project execution—optimizing processes, coordinating teams, and building reliable web tools. I want responsibility, fast learning, and clear impact.

I’m an Electronics and Communication Engineering student who brings operational leadership and project-management discipline to every initiative. I’ve built real execution experience as a Co-Founder & Operations Manager for a campus startup and as a core Manager for a major Tech Fest.

In my internship at Bhilai Steel Plant (SAIL), I gained hands-on exposure to telecom communication systems and maintenance workflows for handheld communication devices. I also observed industrial automation systems including PLC and SCADA during the Universal Rail Mill visit.

I enjoy turning ideas into working products. My Blink URL Shortener & Analytics Platform includes instant link shortening, dynamically generated scannable QR codes, robust dual-path tracking (clicks and scans), and real-time URL validation—plus usage analytics like total clicks and average clicks per URL.

I also built a Recipe & Meal Planning Platform using Computer Vision (image detection) for context-aware recommendations, a dynamic scaling utility for ingredient quantities, and a data integration system for nutrition details (calories, macros, etc.). Whether leading drivers and resolving complaints, coordinating thousands of attendees, or shipping features, I’m driven by operational efficiency, process optimization, and seamless team coordination.
