Professional Background:

Mechanical Design Engineer, Sri Gokul Engineering Works, Hyderabad, India Apr 2014-Dec 2014

Designed heavy machinery parts, rotor and blades (Fixed and Moving) using SolidWorks.

Prepared detail CAD drawings of assembly and Geometric Dimensioning using AutoCAD.

Conducted Finite Element Analysis using ANSYS to calculate centrifugal and thermo-mechanical stresses affecting the rotor life time and provided the solution which has 50,000 EOH (Equivalent Operating Hours) more than the original configuration.

Proposed and developed machine fixture which contributed to a considerable reduction in cost of assembly and curtailed maintenance cost by 15%.

Actively engaging with the team and management, collaborating with consumers to develop customized recommendations to improve process and reduce costs. Mechanical Intern, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited, Visakhapatnam, India Apr 2013-Dec 2013

Prepared detailed CAD drawings of iron, steel and nonferrous castings using AutoCAD.

Gained hands-on engineering experience with heavy machinery, viz, lathes, milling, pneumatic forging hammers weighing over 200 tones, bending machine and shearing machine with 25-mm capacity.

Investigated new techniques in forging process namely powdered forging, cast preform forging and transverse rolling which helps in reduction of material usage and cut down the costs by 5%.

Inspection of materials prior handling over to production to ensure the quality of materials. Academic Projects and Seminars

Design and Analysis of Skate Board Deck by Finite Element Analysis Dec 2015

Designed a skate Board 3d model using Solid works is done by using ANSYS Workbench and the results are verified by Finite Element validation by approximating the deck as a beam. Static and Modal Analysis on Wind Turbine Blade Feb 2014- Apr 2014

Worked as a team of four, designed a Wind Turbine blade using CATIA VR5. Both Static and Modal analysis are done by using ANSYS Workbench.

Hardware in Loop Simulation Dec 2015

Presented a report on the application of Hardware-in-the-loop simulation and briefly discussed about its real world application and its limitations.

Seminar- JNTUK University College of Engineering, Vizianagaram June13

Presented a Seminar on Sensotronic Brake Control an electro-hydraulic Brake System developed by Daimler and Bosch.
