Summary

I bring over 7 years of experience in the electrical and electronics domain, with specialized expertise in high-voltage (HV) battery packs integrated with Battery Management Systems (BMS) and low-voltage (LV) battery systems. My core competencies include the design and development of lithium-ion batteries in compliance with AIS 156, GTR No. 22, and UNECE R100 standards, as well as DC-DC converters, cell selection methodologies, and cell testing strategies.

In addition, I have hands-on experience working with lead-acid and valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries, with a strong focus on cost optimization through Value Analysis and Value Engineering (VAVE) techniques. I am committed to leveraging my technical expertise in lithium-ion battery systems and component development to drive innovation and efficiency in future projects.
