EXPERIENCE

Electrical Engineer, Olive Labs Philadelphia February 2014-current

• Aid in the development of our functional electrical, aid in the design and tuning of sensors, electrical component, aid in the design and

layout of future printed circuit boards.

Teaching Assistant, Dept of Mechanical Engg and Applied Mechanics University of Pennsylvania August 2013-December 2013

• Repair the erroneous PUMA 260 robot, including redesigning its amp board, debugging the electrical issues and reconfiguring its gains.

Also designed PCBs for use in the course and held regular TA hours to help out students.

Research Assistant, Modlab, GRASP labs University of Pennsylvania July 2013-August 2013

• Calculated the inverse kinematics of a six dof robotic arm as a part of the Persona tele-presence robot project and designed a controller

for its arm, the mast and the screen pan and tilt.

Intern, Mahindra Navistar Automotives Limited Pune, India June 2011 - July 2011

• Worked in the CAE department understanding the role of Finite Element Analysis in the industry and the tools used to implement it. Worked

in Hyperworks 10, an industry level analysis tool with Radioss as solver. Completed a case study on the Durability Analysis of an Air Tank

mounting bracket in a 3.3L Mining Tipper.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

• Mechanical Engineering Software: SolidWorks, Catia, Hyperworks, Abaqus CAE, Eagle 6.4.0, Comsol Multiphysics.

• Programming Languages: C, C++, Matlab

• Microcontroller Communication: Visual Studio, Flip, Terminal for Windows, Matlab, Linux Commands

• Workshop Tools: LPKF ProtoMat S62, Laser cutter, Lathe, Milling Machine, Radial Drills, Belt Sander, Grinder, Power Hacksaw

ROBOTICS PROJECTS

Little Prince: the Music of the Planets, University of Pennsylvania Fall 2013

• Designed “The Fox”. A multi-legged tapping robot as part of a musical performance featuring Grace Kelly on Jazz and a number of

other robotic instruments.

• Made a new wireless Zigbee module to work with the college custom M4 micro-controller for the performing robots

Yelp challenge, Machine Learning University of Pennsylvania Fall 2013

• Member of team placed 5th/50 in the course achieving minimum error in predictions of restaurant ratings, given yelp data. Implemented a

combination of methods like SVM, logistic regression, Naïve Bayes etc.

Low cost Laser Range Finder, University of Pennsylvania Spring 2013

• Designed a laser range finder based on the OVM 7690 camera cube module using the STM32F373CC, without storing the whole image

and completing calculation within the external interrupts for the max value.

Microcontroller Peripheral (mVoice), University of Pennsylvania Spring 2013

• Made a peripheral for the university custom micro-controller, the M4 using the ADMP 441 to record audio data via Philips i2s interface.

Transformer, University of Pennsylvania Spring 2013

• Worked in a team of 4 to design the circuitry for a 4 legged car-to-puma transforming robot.

• The joints were actuated using a mechanism similar to the 4 bar linkage with wire and drum for transmission in the PHANTOM haptic

device and positions feedback was done using mechanical encoders.

Robockey 2012 University of Pennsylvania Fall 2012

• Designed a team of 3 mobile robots to play hockey in a 230cm by 120cm field, completely wirelessly. The localization of the robots was

done using Modules used in the Nintendo Wii Remote (mWii IR Blob Tracker).

• Programmed ATMEGA32U4 micro-controller in C using Flip to flash it. This was also connected to an RF wireless module for wirelessly

giving the play, half-time, goal etc. commands.

The Acrobat (PID controller Self Balancing robot), University of Pennsylvania Fall 2012

• Worked in a group of 4 to design a robot capable of balancing itself on 2 wheels. The inertial reading of the robot was taken using a 9 degree

of freedom IMU peripheral to the micro-controller. The readings of gyroscope and accelerometer were taken passed through a low pass

filter and a PID controller was used to keep it stable at zero configurations.

CREDENTIALS/ACTIVITIES

Captain, College Soccer Team New Delhi, India Sep 2011 – May 2012

• Lead the college team to numerous inter college events. Won first prize at many events as a member of the team.

• Organized a street soccer event within the college.

Organizer, DTU MUN New Delhi, India March 2012

• Worked in a team to successfully organize a three day inter-college debate with participation from over 20 colleges.
