At Venwiz Technologies – Center of Excellence, I led AI-driven RFQ analysis automation that reduced PQR creation cycle time from days to minutes, earning 1st Place for Innovation. I also directed development of a BOM extraction tool that eliminated ~75% of manual effort.
I architected analytical dashboards for executive visibility into project performance and enabled AI-based manufacturing plan creation with product teams. I also institutionalized Critical Path Method and designed project tracking and expediting frameworks.
At Kennametal, I spearheaded the conceptual design and technical specification of a 4-spindle line boring machine that won the firm’s first order of its kind in 40 years. I also developed proposals and should-cost models for manufacturing lines, supporting commercial wins of about $6.7M.
At Bharat Fritz Werner, I led the conceptual design of its first-ever Turning SPM, a 4-Spindle 2-Station Turning center that prompted internal patent evaluation. I later built Python-based tools for expeditor assignment optimization, project duration prediction, and manufacturing plan generation, alongside an Agentic AI solution for technical training automation.
