Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
I am an MSc. Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics student at Hochschule Kaiserslautern, with a strong passion for driving innovation in manufacturing and battery technologies. I am currently completing my Master’s thesis at RRC Power Solutions GmbH, a battery pack manufacturing company, where I previously gained one year of practical experience as a Working student in the Manufacturing department. Prior to moving to Germany, I worked as a Production Engineer/ Supervisor at PUP Exports in Nashik, India. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from St. Joseph Engineering College, Mangalore. During my final year, I conducted a project at Kennametal India Ltd., Bengaluru, titled “Storage and Retrieval of Press Tools using the ASRS Approach,” which integrated automation with storage optimization. Additionally, my internship at Bharat Forge Ltd., Pune, enhanced my expertise in lean manufacturing through a value stream mapping project on the Spindle D4009. Additionally, I am proficient in German (Verhandlungssicher) and fluent in English, both written and spoken. Driven by curiosity and a continuous improvement mindset, I aim to contribute to advancements in sustainable manufacturing, lean production and battery technology,. Outside of my professional interests, I enjoy chess, hiking, traveling, and watching movies.
Under a Non- Profit NGO we conducted various activities for school children, in and around Mangaluru region. We interacted with students, conducted personality development programmes and activities so that they emerge as responsible citizens of our nation and as better human beings.
- Successful completion of a project on "Deployment of Lean Manufacturing in a Die Shop – ASRS Approach" by converting a manual tool rack into an Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) in the Press Tools and Coating department. - Implementation of lean manufacturing in a company for the manufacture of cutting tool inserts using ASRS and reduction of space requirements in the workplace by 70% by converting the tool storage racks to the vertical ASRS method. - Analysis of the causes and work with the DMAIC methodology to optimize the storage process. This included significant technical improvements to reduce waiting times and improve the speed and accuracy of press tool handling.
