About
As a mechanical engineer with over seven years of experience, I possess a robust expertise in the full product development lifecycle, from initial R&D and conceptual design to manufacturing and production optimization. My career is distinguished by a hands-on approach to engineering, combining strong design acumen with practical shop-floor knowledge.
My core competency lies in the design and development of advanced robotic systems. In my current role, I have led the mechanical design of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), and telepresence robots. This involved end-to-end ownership, from concept and 3D modeling to prototyping and testing. A key achievement includes engineering a robust chain-sprocket driven powertrain, performing critical calculations for load capacity, power transmission, and durability to meet strict performance metrics. I am proficient in applying GD&T, DFM (Design for Manufacturability), and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles to ensure design integrity and production feasibility.
Previously, at a marine technology startup, I drove the R&D and mechanical design for innovative projects, including a magnetic adhesion crawler for hull inspection and unmanned aerial systems. This role honed my skills in material selection for corrosive environments, mechanism design, and managing the complete prototyping process. I successfully liaised with vendors to oversee manufacturing, quality control, and the assembly of functional prototypes.
My foundation in precision manufacturing is built upon direct experience in a sheet metal fabrication environment. I am highly proficient in sheet metal design, accounting for bend allowances and manufacturing constraints. I gained invaluable hands-on experience programming and operating CNC machinery, including laser cutters, plasma cutters, and press brakes, using software like FastCAM for nesting and G-code generation. This practical knowledge ensures my designs are optimized for real-world fabrication.
I began my career in production engineering, where I managed assembly lines, optimized workflows, and supervised manpower. This experience provided a critical understanding of lean manufacturing principles, production bottlenecks, and the importance of designing for efficient assembly.
This unique synergy of design innovation in high-tech robotics and grounded experience in production and fabrication allows me to effectively bridge the gap between R&D and manufacturing. I am adept at creating sophisticated, reliable mechanical designs that are not only functionally excellent but also cost-effective and optimized for production.also i have worked as a freelancer in many mechanical projects that include (freezer cabinets for medical purpose, aluminium casing for light industry, jig and clamp for bottle company, tap and shower design for a company, and laser and co2 machine for cnc manufacturer.

At BaseApp Systems, I work in the AffBotics Department, which specializes in developing affordable robotic platforms and automation systems. My role primarily focuses on the mechanical design, research and development, simulation, manufacturing, and assembly of robots and intelligent mechatronic devices.
I contribute to the end-to-end product development cycle — starting from concept design, CAD modeling, and kinematic analysis, to finite element simulations (FEA), prototype manufacturing, and final system integration.
Our department designs various categories of robots including AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), each tailored with custom payload capacities, drive mechanisms, and suspension systems. These platforms are engineered for industrial, research, and service applications, focusing on maneuverability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
In addition to mobile robots, I have worked on developing telepresence robots, 3D-printed prototype bots, desktop robotic systems, and multiple mechanical IoT devices that combine sensors, actuators, and embedded control systems.
My work involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical design with electronics, control systems, and software, ensuring seamless operation of our robotic systems. I also participate in continuous design optimization, testing, and documentation to improve product performance and manufacturability.
Through my work at BaseApp Systems, I strive to create innovative, efficient, and affordable robotic solutions that bridge the gap between mechanical engineering and modern automation technology. - Mechanical Design Engineer OCTOBOTICS TECH PVT LTD · Full-time Jul 2021 – Oct 2023 2 yrs 3 mos Noida, UP, India Octobotics Tech stands as a trailblazing marine-based robotics startup, distinguished by its pioneering advancements in Marine & Aero Robotic Platforms featuring Modular Manipulators for Autonomous Inspection and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), even on heavily corroded surfaces.
