Building a social investing & community platform around crypto revolution for the next billion users. Leading the product team at crypso on zero to one product stage.   

Led the Digital Transformation project for Wheat procurement leveraging Advanced Analytics for market forecasting & supply chain optimization tools along with development of digital buyers platform with in-built robotic process automations. Successfully executed pilots on Blockchain supply chain use cases in Agri commodities market & launching commodity trading platforms.  

I worked on my post-graduate thesis on Wheeled Wall Climbing Inspection Robot, under supervision of Prof. Krishnan Balasubramaniam. I was working on the development of robot maneuvering with the multiple vectored aerial thrusters. This opportunity helped me hone my skills in dynamic modelling on MATLAB SIMULINK & system integration using Processing & Arduino. 

I was awarded the Charpak Lab Scholarship for this internship opportunity. Our team focused on development of miniature robot design for a cost effective alternative for the current existing Swarm Robot. I was working on the mechanical design specifically vibration based holonomic mobility for the robot. I performed multiple experiments with various flexible materials & intricate geometries for the locomotion strategy.  

At Detect Technologies, we work on infrastructure inspection solutions for the oil & petrochemical industry. One of the product range of rapidly deployable inspection drones were my scope of the internship. I worked on prototype to product development chain on one of the latest & very versatile inspection drone. My work was imperative to me as it helped me understand the startup culture.  

This was an year long project I started along with 3 of my teammates under guidance of Prof. Asokan Thondiyath. We aimed to develop a hybrid drone with capabilities to maneuver in underwater & aerial media. We successfully published 2 research papers in the OCEANS'19 Marseille & ICINCO'19 Prague coference. I gained experience in ANSYS Fluent simulation, rapid prototyping & aerodynamic modelling during the course of the project.   

Suman Mashruwala Lab specializes in the research on micro-engineering & micro-fabrication. The team at SML works on development of micro-precision additive manufacturing techniques. I was working on project of developing a leech-like hoping mobile robot. While working on the project, I upgraded the Chained Beam-Constrained Model to develop an algorithm with high functionality & better performance, useful in one of the fundamental FE analysis for all highly flexible components.  

I joined Team Anveshak shortly after it's inception. Team Anveshak was my first endeavor in my institute life & arguably also the most important one. We at Team Anveshak developed Mars Rover prototypes and secured Top 30 Rank internationally among 100+ teams for 2 consecutive years starting with our maiden attempt. I lead the technical division of the team in my junior year successfully developing Aurora 2.0. Since then the team has grown even further & have broken our previous records in multiple competitions. A majority of my soft skills development - team management & leadership & mentoring, was during my tenure as the team lead.  

Internship at VECV was my first stint in the Industry. I worked in Operations division, developing the then new BS-VI engine. Our team was designing the new manufacturing line setup for the BS-VI engines & I was tasked to ensure that the manufacturing process flow is fluid & optimized.
