What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in renewable energy and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Field Service Engineer with a strong background in hydrogen fuel cell systems and renewable energy. Currently, I work at Plug Power GmbH, where I maintain and troubleshoot GenDrive systems, ensuring optimal performance and minimal downtime. My role involves conducting preventive diagnostics and collaborating with R&D teams to provide valuable operational data that supports design improvements.

Previously, I interned as a Research Assistant at Emerald Green Power Ltd., where I developed techno-economic models for green hydrogen production and analyzed electrolyzer performance metrics. My experience as a Junior Maintenance Engineer at Force Motors India allowed me to enhance equipment uptime through effective monitoring and compliance with technical standards. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in MATLAB/Simulink and simulation tools to drive innovations in the renewable energy sector.
