PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

ThyssenKrupp Uhde, Mumbai, India Design & Implementation Engineer July 2010 – August

2013

• Increased productivity by 300% by designing and analyzing stress of pressure vessels and columns in PV Elite

2014 (16.0) and commissioning a Hydrogen Production Unit for a reputed Indian oil refinery, sulphur recovery

plant, and a caustic soda plant

• Proliferated weekly engineering output by 150% by designing horizontal, vertical pressure vessels and heat

exchangers using Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating Software, vendor document checking for pressure

vessels, heat exchangers and columns, generating sketches and designing API 650 tanks, checking nozzle

orientation documents of equipment, and preparing technical specifications for plate heat exchangers and

pressure vessels

• Reduced the modeling time by 3 times by validating AutoCAD Lisp programs which in turn generated full-

scale two-dimensional sketches of ASME B 16.5 and B16.47 Series A & B flanges and columns with skirt

supports, leading to the program not needing the user to manually sketch the details of the equipment in

AutoCAD

• Enhanced overall engineering efficiency by 200% by summarizing Wind and Seismic shear loads and

Moments acting on Tanks and Pressure Vessels using Excel to act as a reference for consequent future projects,

and consisting of relevant data required to design Columns, Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers for Indian

refineries and chemical plants

• Attained +200% efficiency of generation stress analysis reports by modeling, routing and stress analysis of

inter-connecting pipelines using CAESAR II engineering software

Larsen & Toubro ECC, Chennai, India Design Engineering Intern March 2010 – May 2010

• Boosted productivity by 400% by designing and analyzing regular and intermittent stresses of Piping,

Pigging, Purging, Expansion Loop and Vent circuits, using ASME Piping Codes and CAESAR 5.2

VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

National Cadet Corps, Chennai, India President (Organizing Committee) May 2009 – August 2009

• Organized blood donation drives, trekking and camping activities by mobilizing team, increasing awareness,

motivating students to participate and continuously improvising the program to retain interest.
