I lead global MES, manufacturing engineering, and AI-enabled automation programs across automotive, aerospace, and energy.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've led MES implementation and manufacturing engineering programs for Tata Consultancy Services across automotive, energy, and aerospace clients in North America, the UK, Europe, and India. My work spans requirements gathering through deployment, governance, cross-functional delivery, and go-live support.
In recent multi-plant MES programs, I improved production efficiency, reduced downtime, increased OEE, reduced cycle time by 5%, and delivered projects ahead of schedule and within budget. I also commissioned MES for sub-assembly and flow-line operations, improving shop-floor efficiency by up to 10% through standardized work and digital processes.
I'm now building custom MES applications, Python-driven robotic automation concepts in Blender, AI-enabled web solutions, and technical 3D visual content.
