WORK EXPERIENCE

IBM, Boulder - RESO group May ***6 – Dec 2016

Facilities Engineering Intern

Studied Skyspark (energy and equipment data analyzing software) which is used for data logging of various meters at the data center

Compared several dashboard tools, then finalized and installed DGLux software on Skyspark server and developed a dashboard for energy management, which displayed power usage effectiveness, chiller status, temperatures

Used speech to text recognition tool by Watson Analytics for segregating audios Forbes Marshall Pvt. Ltd, Pune, India - R&D group Dec 2011 - Oct 2014 Design and Development Engineer

Developed logic for electromechanical boiler product named as ‘Web based Effimax’ which increased the boiler efficiency by 3 to 5% reducing the cost of operation by 8 to 9%

Designed, verified signal conditioning circuits and control systems for processing pressure, temperature input data to generate standard current/voltage signal, thus controlling them. Transmitted data to the display unit with MODBUS protocol. Prototyped with RSLogix PLC and SCADA and then used Linux based industrial panel PC to broadcast over the internet to inform user about the real-time status of the boiler parameters

Performed DFMEA and documented technical details of the product using AutoCAD, CorelDRAW, SolidEdge ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Non-linear control systems: System Performance of DC motor and pendulum Dec 2016

Simulated non-linear systems in Simulink to understand their behavior in terms of stability, existence and designed state feedback integral controller

Embedded systems: Garden management system Dec 2016

Detected the soil moisture and temperature and developed the color sensing mechanism using Machine learning algorithm named Perceptron for identifying plant growth, using Arduino Uno, with 85% accuracy

Designed an IoT application by generating alarms for potential failures on android smartphone using Bluetooth Machine Learning: Data classification for wholesale customers May 2016

Analysed Wholesale customers' annual spending on many products for business growth, by classifying it into categories using algorithms coded in Python, such as Linear discriminant analysis, Quadratic discriminant analysis and Logistic regression using Neural networks and Support vector machine and concluded most suitable strategy Robotics: Kinematic simulation of an articulated object and pick and place robot simulation Dec 2015

Simulated the movement of a planar robot on a specified trajectory by generating the joint angles using Jacobians and performed both forward and inverse kinematics in MATLAB using generated simulations for debug

Attempted pick and place robot simulation on ROS with PR2 manipulator. Further, finalised simulation on RoboDK software using damped least square for inverse kinematics, by programming in Python Coin operated personal computer with coin recognition Jun 2011

Programmed micro controller IC8051 which controlled enabling and disabling the keyboard of personal computer as per the set timer after insertion of the coin and segmented images of coins and compared them with good and fake coins by vector quantization technique using MATLAB COMPUTER SKILLS

Programming languages: MATLAB, Ladder logic diagram in PLC, Python, C, C++, SystemC

Modelling / Application Software: SCADA, Solid Edge, AutoCAD, OrCAD, CorelDRAW, ROS, Vensim PLE, Simulink, gem5, Noxim, Arduino, Android, Skyspark, DGLux EDUCATION

Colorado State University, Fort Collins (GPA: 3.25/4) Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering May 2017 University of Pune, India (GPA: 3.5/4)

Bachelor of Instrumentation and Control Engineering Jun 2011 VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE

Volunteered with a social welfare organization ‘MITR’ for education of underprivileged children

Attended leadership workshop organized by ‘Leadershape Institute’ with 50 international students ***************@*****.***
