Summary of Qualifications
An industrious Mechatronics Engineering graduate and an automotive enthusiast with strong
working knowledge of control systems, software modelling a system and automotive systems.
Control and Diagnostic Systems:
 A Control system was designed for a mechanical gripper assembly which included a user
interface, designed using LabVIEW to read and regulate the gripping force been applied
 Implemented real-time digital PID controller to precisely control the position of a DC
motor
 A PID controller was designed for over-head gantry crane system to tune and eliminate or
reduce sway
Software Model Development:
 Developed a Matlab/Simulink model for a robotic arm as a control and diagnostic tool to
test its working in a desired working scenario
 Collaborated in the development of a Simulink/Matlab model of a gantry crane system to
analyse its response in different input situations
Technical Skills:
 Programming Languages: Matlab/Simulink, C, Quartus II, Omron, LabVIEW
 Engineering design: Solidworks, AutoCAD and Matlab
 Proficient in Microsoft Office applications – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook
 Ability to perform simple automotive mechanical and wiring work

Relevant Experience
Mechanical Gripper September 2014 – November 2014
Team Leader
 Headed a team of three to design a prototype of a gripper which would hold an object
sensitive to gripping force without crushing it and which could also demonstrate control
over the gripping force by varying it over time
 3D model of the mechanical gripper was designed in Solidworks
 Calibrated a flex sensor and obtained an empirical correlation between its flexion and
gripping force
 Designed the control circuit and user interface using the LabVIEW system-design
platform
Design of a self-steering railway carriage bogie January 2015 – April 2015
Team Leader
 Led a group of three to build a mechatronics system to create a self-steering railway
carriage bogie, the system would sense an impending curve on the railway track and steer
the carriage bogie to required angle to minimize the wear and tare on the train wheels.
 Designed Electronic circuitry to realise control system
 Programmed the Arduino Leonardo microcontroller board
 Helped team prepare the final report
Extracurricular Activities
 Student Member, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), March 2016
