PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant- Wichita State University Aug 24 - Present

• Developing a Job Rotation Optimization Tool (JROT), integrating biomechanical and psychosocial data, creating a balance in rotation schedules which enhance worker safety and productivity.

• Conducting ongoing research on job rotation strategies to reduce biomechanical risks using industrial ergonomics principles and improving overall workplace well-being.

• Data collection using tools like LIFFT, DUET, and The Shoulder Tool to measure biomechanical stress on the lower back, shoulder, and upper extremities.

• Provided recommendations, using probability and statistical analysis for workstation improvement, reducing injury risks and creating a safer work environment for employees. Industrial Engineering Intern - Triumph Engineering Aug 22 - May 23

• Identified bottleneck in a five-workstation manufacturing assembly line where the first two stations processed parts faster than third causing accumulation, leading to reduced production rates by 18%

• Utilized Lean Manufacturing methodologies such as Kaizen, Standardization, Waste reduction, 5’S and Kanban to improve resource utilization, eliminating waste movements, enhancing workflow efficiency.

• Conducted time motion study to determine bottleneck, making work slower by 3 mins per cycle and contributed towards development of WBS to improve task sequencing and part accessibility

• Coordinated the reorganization of the assembly line layout to eliminate bottlenecks and unnecessary movement, distributed tasks evenly to reduce idle time and increase process efficiency

• Led the implementation of kanban system, enhancing workflow visibility and reducing work delay. Suggested preventive maintenance strategy to improve operational safety and avoid unexpected breakdowns

• The daily production jumped from 215-230 to 270 units (19% increase), meeting the OEE targets ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Optimizing EPSON Receipt Printer Manufacturing Process using DMAIC Principles Sep 23 - Dec 23

• Implemented Six Sigma DMAIC methodology to enhance product design, manufacturing efficiency and reducing costs, targeting a 20% reduction in production cycle time.

• Designed theoretical improvements using Lean tools, including Control Plan, Value Stream mapping, Fishbone diagram, FMEA, aiming to reduce defect rates by 15%. Digital ID, Portfolio & Financial Services App – Shocker Stop App May 24 - Aug 24

• Used the INCOSE VEE Model and Life Cycle Model (LCM) to guide the design and development of a digital ID system for over 5000 students and faculty, providing secure campus access, payments, and portfolio management.

• Created a System Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) based on the NIST Framework, which helped us organize the project by clearly defining roles, and responsibilities, and managing risks throughout the process.

• Integrated IoT, biometric authentication, and NFC technology to make campus access and payments secure and efficient, while ensuring the system met cybersecurity standards and could keep improving over time. Vice President, Mechanical Engineering Student Association, Pune University Mar 2022 - June 2023 Organized and led events like game days, fundraisers, blood drives, and social campaigns, managing logistics and ensuring successful outcomes while pursuing my bachelors. Built leadership and project management skills, earning recognition from university leadership for contributions to community involvement and social causes.
