PROFILE

I am a dedicated and professional engineer with experience in the Oil, Gas and Aerospace industry as well asacross a range of other sectors. My strong academic background has enabled me to excel in the field ofengineering and finite element analysis for the design and verification of equipment as per Asme and otherinternational specifications. Also Have experience of being in different aerospace industries all over Europenamely Germany, France, England and Sweden. I have worked with highly skilled people from all over theworld and can easily work in a team. As an Aerospace engineer i have detailed understanding of CFD as well.

I am currently working as a Pressure Vessel / Heat exchanger design engineer and also conducting finiteelement analysis on them using Ansys. For conventional design I have experience in using Compress and Pvelite.

CORE ACHIEVEMENTS

Use of software such as Pv elite and Compress to design pressure vessels/heat exchangers.

Sabic RT4 where I carried out detailed fatigue analysis of product discharge tank using FEA .

Lifting lug analysis using finite element analysis for vessel for Worley parson.

FEA Hotbox analysis for a reactor for Technip itally using coupled field structural /thermal analysisusing Ansys.

Piping / nozzle analysis for different jobs including FEA. Consultancy for different local vendors for Finite element analysis for oil and gas industry.

Fitness of Service assessment using FEA as per API standards.

A complete working model of 2D satellite attitude control was built. The project involved the design ofcold jet thrusters and structure of the model satellite. I achieved the design of the controller on Matlab.

In my thesis I developed a software tool to find optimum trajectories utilizing gravity assistmanoeuvres for spacecrafts/satellites. The tool was programmed on Matlab with complete graphicaluser interface.
