ABOUT ME

Experience & Leadership

18+ years of hands-on experience spanning concept-to-production engineering. Principal Engineer (Individual Contributor) driving technology strategy, feature planning for Model-Based Design (MBD), HDL code generation workflows, reference architectures, and mentoring across global teams.

Education & IP Expertise

Dual degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) from IIT Madras in Electrical Engineering & Power Electronics. Inventor on 11 granted patents and 50+ published/pending filings with training in Indian and European patent frameworks.

SKILLS & CORE COMPETENCIES

System & Digital Architecture

System-level architecture, Model-Based Design (MBD), Hardware-Software Co-Design, HDL Code Generation concepts (Verilog/VHDL targeting), Fixed-Point Optimization, and technical roadmapping.

Embedded & Firmware

Bare-metal C/C++, MATLAB, Simulink, Python, device drivers (CAN, SPI, UART, I2C, USB host), AUTOSAR-influenced architectures, portable bootloaders, and microcontroller platforms (ARM Cortex-M, TI C2000, Renesas, PIC).

Technical Leadership

Individual contributor driving product strategy, architectural code reviews, setting technical reference standards, and aligning cross-functional global teams without direct management authority.

DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE

Traction Motors & Control

End-to-end motor design (ISG, Hub BLDC), specification, DFMEA, electromagnetic modeling, and non-linear optimal motor control workflows using LUTs (PMSM, SynRM, ACIM) integrated into MATLAB releases.

Battery Management Systems

Custom BMS architecture with low chemistry dependency, SOC/SOH estimation algorithms, cell balancing, and safety fault handling across various battery configurations.

Automotive Safety & Systems

Production-certified Anti-Lock Braking System (TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS), plant modeling, solenoid/motor control strategies, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation.

INTERESTS & AUTOMATION

Design Automation & Open Source

Created open-source frameworks like rlib for automated motor design optimization and reduced human-in-the-loop iterations.

Intellectual Property Strategy

Experienced in patent drafting, landscape analysis, and aligning IP creation with corporate technology roadmaps and product differentiation.

Robotics & Ham Radio

Licensed Amateur Radio operator in India (since 2012). Active in robotics simulations, autonomous navigation models, and embedded controls.
