What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead multidisciplinary product development for robotics, industrial automation, additive manufacturing, or structural engineering systems, taking products from requirements and design through deployment.

I led development of 30+ linear robots at Prayojaka Technologies, reducing deployment cycles by 70% while managing a 10-member multidisciplinary team.

I’ve delivered welding robots, industrial 3D printers, CNC machines, gantry robots, delta robots, pick-and-place systems, and machine-vision sensor-guidance automation. I also built and owned a stage-gate project management system for coordinating mechanical design, electronics, firmware, procurement, and vendors.

I bring deep structural-analysis and additive-manufacturing experience from Daimler, L&T Technology Services, Delphi-TVS, the University of Louisville, and York University. My work combines FEA, computational modeling, composite structures, experimental validation, and engineering automation.
