Professional Summary

I am very passionate about tackling engineering problems with Multi physics challenges involving mechanical, thermal, and electrical constrains. I have a strong understanding of Materials, RF waves, and Optical waves, and how to Design, Simulate and Test systems where these interact. Simply I like designing RF, Optical and mechanical components of systems and ensure that they meet the specified standard of operation
