Technical consulting
Current: Program Manager / Project lead / Senior Software engr: Siemens PLM (From 2005)
Responsibilities: Program management, project management, 3 direct reports, technical consulting,
architectural enhancements, overseeing technical debt reduction, active programming in C++.
• Mixed Facet/NURBS Modeling: (patent underway). Enhanced ability to work with meshes in NX – the
flagship CAD product. Multi release (3 years) project. As program manager, the job is to digest future
workflows and requirements and shepherd all applications (~13 of them) for this program.
First Release target: 2016. Goal: Introduce NX to new domains like medical implants and empower current
facet based workflows in existing areas.
• 3D Printing: Mentored and led the team to develop Microsoft 3D builder (3MF) based solution to be able to
3D print 3D models directly from NX. Acting as development lead to explore the world of 3D printing and the
role CAD has to play in the domain. Currently working with Stratasys systems for integrated product.
• Architects team: Part of architecture team that consists of representatives from all of sites. Focus: technical
debt, bottlenecks (technical or process), extensibility of the code base, component development.
• Reference Pattern: Led the team in identification and closure of a key customer workflow gap. Improved the
consistency and performance. Late phase project - agile development and risk trade-offs.
• Pattern: Developed C++ based solution to enhance patterning ability in NX. Multi release project. Team of 5.
Achievement: NX now has one of the best patterning abilities in the industry. It involves novel ways to
specify efficient patterns and options to achieve performance or complexity.
• Wave Reparenting: Enabled concurrent modeling while retaining feature relationships. Closed a critical gap
in NISSAN workflows allowing work on multiple versions of design at the same time. Team of 4.
• Maintenance: Being a history based modeler; NX needs careful maintenance and versioning to ensure
customer satisfaction. Successfully stabilized 3 operators (sew, chamfer, revolve), all of which changed from
problem magnets to stable functionality. This routinely involved working with customer critical issues for
customers like GM, Daimler, Canon, Chrysler etc.
Research at ASU: Developed NRep (Neutral Representation) FrameWork, for form feature data exchange.
Selectica: 2000 to 2002: Web based programming to develop solutions (eRRS) for US insurance client (BCBS
Florida). This involved use of RDBMS, SQL, JAVA, Java Script and HTML.
*Working with ‘Make A Wish Foundation’ for 5 years.
