OBJECTIVE: To work for a dynamic organization in the role of

Mechanical Engineering Analyst specializing in CFD and Engineering

design.

SUMMARY:

-A qualified Mechanical Engineer with quality driven work ethics

having an exceptional track record in performing complex CFD,

engineering design and software quality assurance projects supported

by a Masters degree.

-A person who saves money for the employer by using the best

practices to achieve higher productivity.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, USA

July 2008- Dec 2009

Worked on a research project funded by NSF, USA in joint venture with

Dupont Stine Haskell research center and studied the turbulence

effects in chemical slurry flow through pipes for application of IR

diffuse transmission and reflectance probe.

Applied CFD to visualize flow over and through sensing gap on probe

and successfully analyzed the effects of particles.

-Employed FLUENT and applied Mixture multiphase flow model and K-?

Turbulence models in simulations of chemical slurry flow through

pipes.

-Employed Gambit and ICEM CFD for creating and meshing the probe and

pipe assembly experimenting with different meshing options.

-Reported the progress of the project to the Principal Investigator

on a weekly basis.

-Determined the experimental set up design for the slurry flow on the

basis of pressure calculations.

- Conducted experiments for flow visualization over a cylindrical

probe projected from the middle of the elliptical cross section

plate using dyes in a water channel.

Teaching Assistant, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, USA

August 2007 - May 2008

Played an important role of the Lead Teaching Assistant in Mechanical

Design for consecutive semesters and resulted in 20% increment in

average class grades.

-Maintained confidential records as well as audited the student's

performance each semester.

-Successfully played a significant role in lecturing, tutoring,

proctoring, grading and mentoring students in specific areas.

-Solving mechanical design problems for preparing the solutions to

class assignments.

Software Engineer, Patni Computer Systems, India

September 2006 - July 2007

Successfully worked as Software Quality Assurance Engineer for

Fidelity Investments, USA as my client on web-based financial

software applications and ensured the release of high quality

software applications.

-Efficiently prepared the test environment and test cases on the

basis of specifications requirements analysis document (SRA) and

tested the web based applications on the basis of same.

-Identified and reported many unexpected defects and got them fixed

by deciding their respective severities that resulted the launching

of high quality web applications.

-Managed the individual projects assigned and sent the deliverables

under deadlines.

-Communicated with client in scheduled telecon meetings regarding

project issues.

-Achieved high productivity by following the industry standards of

CMM level 5.

-Suggested and implemented best practices in team to ensure project

success and saved 220 project man- hours.

Engineering consultant, BOEPL, India

July 2006-

July 2007

Served as an Engineering consultant in the design of hydraulic and

pneumatic machine parts using AUTOCAD.
