About
Results-driven electrical engineer with expertise in electromagnetics and electric machine design. Proficient in developing and optimizing Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) and Brushless DC Motors (BLDC) for various industrial applications. Skilled in finite element analysis (FEA) and electromagnetic simulation with hands-on experience using Ansys Maxwell, Motor-CAD and COMSOL. Strong background in high-speed motor/generator design for energy storage application.
Adept at prototyping and system-level optimization. Proven track record in cross-functional collaboration and driving innovation to enhance motor efficiency, reliability and performance.
In addition to my engineering work, I am the creator of "Mind Your Motors", a LinkedIn newsletter dedicated to electric machine design. I launched this initiative to create a transparent, technical and accessible platform for sharing insights and engaging with the global engineering community. Through this platform, I aim to explore technical topics, share lessons learned from real-world projects and foster dialogue between professionals, students and researchers.
I am passionate about advancing the state of electric motor technology through thoughtful engineering, sustainable design principles and open collaboration. Whether through project work, industry engagement or technical communication, my goal is to contribute meaningfully to the future of electrification.
I am seeking opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in electric motor design. If you are working on electrification, electric machines or adjacent technologies and believe there’s an opportunity to collaborate, I welcome the connection.
