May’19 - Present

Research Assistant, Maryland Robotics Center

Design and implementation of autonomous Hydroponic system (Cultivation without Substrate) with monitoring of plant health and yield along with cultivation using Robotic End Effectors.

Sep’18 - Apr’19

Design Engineer, ACG Worldwide

Developed “Robotic Pick-and-Place” (3D SCARA of RRP type) resulting in a market revolution; we were the first company in India to have a robotic transfer system. The company showcased this work at ‘P-Mech Exhibition 2018’

Launched a Special Biscuit transfer attachment for packing 110 biscuits per minute which led to opening of completely new business avenue for ACG in the FMCG market.

Led ‘Value addition and Value Engineering’ in the Design department which caused a high reduction in overall costs due to the design optimizations.

Improved o/p efficiency by 15% yielding a record break in the total number of machines produced by the company in Sep’16.
