Employment History

Decision Scientist in Mu sigma Business Solutions, India [September 2013 – June 2015]

Working in one of the leading data analytics and decision science companies, I underwent a rigorous two month training which helped me develop my presentation and research skills.

Created and tested scalable statistical models that were used by leading retail, pharmaceutical and technology companies that led to significant improvement in their sales figures and customer satisfaction scores.

Worked with clients from different industry verticals and helped them in keeping a structured and clean database by collecting and refining data from various teams in the client company.

Tight deadlines and specific client requirements ensured proper time management and delivery.

Other Internships/Projects

Graduate course project to design a community microgrid on a chosen site

Constructed model on HOMER PRO to study the load curves. Maximum renewable penetration was ensured while adhering to the other constraints. The model of the microgrid was then run on ETAP after designing the transmission system and implementing power factor correction. And a feasibility study was conducted.

Graduate course project to plan the installation of a new substation in an existing industrial system model

Came up with a least cost solution through POWERWORLD simulation to add new substation to an existing grid while fixing the contingencies in the system

Graduate course project to design the traction system for an electric vehicle

Designed an electric vehicle traction drive system on PSIM that included a DC-DC boost converter and an inverter. The effects of the system were studied for various operating conditions.

Synchronization of human locomotion for physically challenged (August 2012-April 2013)

Using DC motors and an 8051 microcontroller, the synchronization of human locomotion was achieved, which aids the movement of physically challenged people.

Significant Achievements and Skills

A+ grade in all subjects in class 12 CBSE Board Examinations.

Senior executive for the Technical Workshops committee in two national level festivals (Ragam and Tathva)

Active member of the National Service Scheme (NSS), a non-profit volunteering scheme, with projects involved in city garbage disposal, disaster management awareness and free academic lectures and coaching for underprivileged children.

Languages: - English, Malayalam (proficient), Hindi (intermediate).

IT Skills: - Microsoft Office Suite, Tableau, C++, SQL and Data mining software’s like SAS,R.
