MY EXPERIENCE
DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGY
I specialize in breaking down complex technical challenges and identifying how different technologies such as Digital Twin, AI, and hardware systems can be effectively integrated to build robust and scalable solutions. I excel at translating ideas into structured concepts, then into complete system architectures and real-world implementations. From technical writing and research proposals to system design and execution, I manage the full project lifecycle with precision. A key strength is my ability to coordinate with diverse stakeholders, ensuring smooth collaboration across teams, partners, and clients. With a strong foundation in mechatronics and cross-disciplinary thinking, I bridge engineering and innovation to deliver impactful and future-ready solutions.
MASTER THESIS
Company I worked before As a Master Thesis student at TDK Electronics AG, I focused on automation and Digital Twin development for improving the transformation process of semi-finished inductor coils. I designed a 3D system model using Siemens NX-MCD and developed a Digital Twin for simulation and testing. Using Siemens TIA Portal, I conducted simulations to evaluate and optimize different gripper systems, contributing to enhanced process efficiency and system performance.
TDK ELECTRONICS
At TDK Electronics, I worked on process improvement and automation in both India and Germany. As a Graduate Engineering Trainee, I handled process documentation, implemented a stoppage management system, and supported the installation of testing equipment. Later, during my internship in Germany, I conducted a detailed study of the manufacturing process to identify areas for efficiency gains through automation. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in manufacturing systems and industrial optimization.
