During my internship at EVI Technologies Pvt. Ltd., I contributed to the development of an 11kW AC EV charger by investigating and resolving critical inconsistencies in its voltage and current sensing sections. I identified that these measurement errors, known as the "metering effect," were caused by electromagnetic interference and improper scaling. To address this, I reconfigured the resistor networks and optimized shunt values, which stabilized the readings within a \pm2\% error range. Beyond troubleshooting, I designed auxiliary power circuits using buck and SEPIC converters and utilized EasyEDA to create schematics and 3D PCB models for custom STM32 and ESP32-based development boards.

In this role, I provided high-level technical support and hardware diagnostics for the Samsung ecosystem, specializing in the resolution of complex software and hardware issues for end users. My responsibilities included performing systematic troubleshooting to isolate root causes, guiding customers through technical configurations, and ensuring all support cases met Samsung’s global service standards. I was accountable for maintaining high customer satisfaction ratings by delivering efficient technical solutions and documenting support interactions to improve internal knowledge bases and product reliability.

As a Hardware Engineer at the Ordnance Factory, Itarsi, I played a key role in the OFI Enhancement project, developing a digital system to record critical missile thruster metrics such as thrust, pressure, and elapsed time. My responsibilities included the end to end assembly and integration of hardware components, precision soldering, and rigorous software verification to ensure the system met stringent client specifications. Beyond the physical build, I managed iterative testing cycles to guarantee reliability and provided essential server support, including data storage management and cross departmental technical documentation.

I served as Assistant Chief Technology Officer, where I contributed to strategic technical planning and the oversight of project execution. My professional background is further strengthened by my extensive involvement with the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centre (IEDC), where I volunteered for numerous events aimed at fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. Through these leadership and volunteer initiatives, I gained significant experience in coordinating technical workshops, managing cross-functional teams, and supporting the development of emerging technologies within a collaborative ecosystem.

I served as the Technical Coordinator for the college IEEE unit during the 2021-2022 term, where I led the planning and execution of numerous technical events. In this leadership capacity, I was responsible for overseeing event logistics, managing technical workshops, and directing project teams to ensure successful program delivery. My extensive volunteer work with IEEE further allowed me to contribute to the professional development of the student community while refining my skills in team coordination and technical leadership within a globally recognized professional organization.
