About

I’m a Project and Quality Management professional with ~18 years of experience delivering complex, global engineering and software programs across automotive and manufacturing environments—primarily within Bosch and large multinational ecosystems. My strength lies in end‑to‑end program execution across the product lifecycle, from acquisition and requirements alignment through development, industrialization, and end‑of‑production. I’ve led cross‑functional, multicultural teams across India, Japan, and Germany, integrating Agile delivery, Quality Gates, and risk‑based thinking to balance schedule, cost, quality, and compliance under high‑pressure conditions. With a strong foundation in quality assurance, reliability engineering, and supplier quality, I bring an audit‑ready, systems mindset to delivery—focused on predictable outcomes, product maturity, and disciplined execution. I’m particularly interested in strengthening integrated quality systems, process‑driven execution, and scalable delivery models in complex engineering organizations.
