09/15-12/15 LEAN ENGINEER – Vitruvian Entertainment Enterprise, Burbank, California

• Key Results – Saved approximately $50,000 in annual labor costs, $4,080 annual rental costs, and increased revenue of up to $40,000 by sorting and selling red tagged items. Reduced response time to customers by sorting and converting truck into a portable studio unit. Reduced amount of storage space used by means of efficient inventory control.

• Sorted all equipment using lean methodology to create an efficient workflow.

• Analyzed all inventory to create a reduction plan (in both leased space and inventory) using 5s tools which in turn increased company revenue and expedited growth by sorting un-used inventory into red tagged items.

• Increased up-time of production by transforming an un-used company truck into a portable express studio, which contained all essential equipment for a quick shoot.

08/14 - 05/15 QUAL ITY & LEAN ENGINEER–Expert Engineering Enterprises, India

• Key Results – Reduced testing time in-turn reducing production per unit leading to process improvement, value stream mapping.

• Conducted detailed analysis of entire production life cycle of industrial grid water valves. Performed value stream mapping to determine time wastages such as human, machine layout and reduced the production per unit by 3 minutes leading to process improvement by 6%.

• Implemented lean management including for optimization of machinery and manpower reducing the idle-time of workers, improved overall process leading to production increase by 9 units.

• Mapped the current state of production process which showed maximum time spent in testing. Identified laser testing which would reduce the testing time per unit from 20 mins to 5-7 mins.

• Extensively involved with giving walkthrough sessions to the development team

• Created UAT test cases and assisted workers in conducting UAT laser equipment testing. Initiated proactive efforts to resolve issues reported by business post-production

01/15 - 03/15 SUMMER INTERN – Shri. Keshav Cement and Infra Ltd, India

• Key Results – Gained experience as a lab assistant to check if end product is up to standards of both company and government. Also worked as an inventory assistant to help create a smooth production process.

• Examined all cement blocks for strength, ductility and hardness by performing various scientific tests.

• Communicated with various dealers of raw materials to find the best and cheapest material for production runs. Handled inflow and outflow of all materials to and from the factory.

2010 – 2014 OPERAT IONS ENGINEER – Sonu Metals, India

• Key Results – Gained insight into the inner workings of the commercial world.

• Worked with in our own manufacturing firm which produced agricultural components.

• Marketed components all over India and abroad of submersible adapters, bore well clamps, etc.

• Trained farmers about the product and helped them in setting up the system.

• Helped key designers with product design using multiple software’s such as SolidEdge, Catia.

2016 - 2017 PROJECTS :

• Delta Robot: Designed and fabricated a three axis delta robot using Arduino Board to program.

• Design of Humanoid Arm in CATIA: I designed a humanoid arm during my special course in design using CATIA which had about 35-40 sub- components.

• Calibration of an Electron-beam Vaporization system :It was individual project where my job was to calibrate the sensor which is used to measure the thickness of a thin crystal and interface it with the PC to get various parameters of the crystal Substrate such as frequency,mass,rate of deposition,run-time.
