I am currently working as a Design Engineer Apprentice at Kerala Automobiles Limited, a Government of Kerala undertaking, after previously serving as an Engineering Trainee for one year. During my time here, I have been actively involved in design and development of components for electric and diesel three-wheelers, focusing on improving performance, durability, and cost-efficiency. I have also worked on CNC machining projects for VSSC and ISRO, gaining valuable exposure to high-precision manufacturing processes. In addition to design, I have been part of the Research and Development (R&D) team, contributing to product innovation and testing. I have also handled project management responsibilities, coordinating between design, production, and quality teams to ensure timely delivery and smooth execution of various projects.
October 2023 - January 2024
I worked as a Service Engineer at Popular Maruti for three months, where I assisted senior technicians in diagnosing and repairing various vehicle issues related to engines, brakes, and electrical systems. I was responsible for performing routine maintenance tasks such as oil changes, filter replacements, and wheel alignments. I also used diagnostic tools to identify faults and ensure all vehicles met Maruti Suzuki’s service standards. In addition to technical work, I interacted with customers to explain the repairs carried out and provided recommendations to help maintain their vehicle’s performance and longevity.
2019-2023
Completed my Bachelor’s degree in Automobile Engineering from SRM Institute of Science and Technology. My coursework provided in-depth knowledge of vehicle dynamics, powertrain systems, and automotive design. I gained hands-on experience with industry-standard software such as SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD, and MATLAB. Additionally, I worked on projects related to ethanol fuel analysis and battery casing redesign for improved heat management. My time at SRM also strengthened my problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and technical communication skills

Completed my schooling in Alappuzha, Kerala, where I developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills. My education provided a solid foundation in mathematics and science, fostering my interest in engineering. Additionally, it honed my communication skills in English, Hindi, and Malayalam, enabling effective collaboration in technical and professional environments.
Here are some of my favorite projects I have done lately. Feel free to check them out.
Comparative Analysis of Ethanol Content in Petrol from Different Brands and Its Impact on Engine Performance and Fuel Efficiency
Development and Structural Analysis of Battery Enclosure for Car Batteries
Automobiles Components Customisation for Various Companies and Government Organisations.
This project focuses on the design and structural analysis of a battery casing for automotive applications, aimed at ensuring mechanical strength, thermal stability, and vibration resistance. The design phase was carried out using SolidWorks, where a detailed 3D model of the battery casing was developed, considering factors such as dimensions, material selection, and ease of assembly. The designed casing was then subjected to structural and thermal analysis using ANSYS software to evaluate its strength, stress distribution, deformation, and thermal behavior under real-world operating conditions. The analysis helped in identifying potential weak points and optimizing the design to enhance durability and performance. The project ultimately aims to provide a robust and efficient battery housing that enhances both battery safety and overall vehicle reliability.
At Kerala Automobiles Limited (KAL), this role involves customizing automobile components to meet the specific technical and operational requirements of various private sector clients and government organizations, including reputed institutions like VSSC and other public sector undertakings. The work includes interpreting 2D technical drawings, developing accurate 3D CAD models, and adapting designs for CNC-based manufacturing. Emphasis is placed on precision, quality, and compliance with industry and organizational standards, ensuring each component aligns with the client’s performance, safety, and durability expectations.
At Kerala Automobiles Limited (KAL), I worked as part of the design team, specializing in the 3D modeling of components for VSSC projects. My role involved converting 2D drawings provided by the engineers into precise 3D models using SolidWorks. These 3D models were then used by the production team to manufacture the components through CNC machining. I collaborated closely with the workers to ensure that the 3D designs were compatible with the CNC processes, optimizing the models for efficient production. Throughout the process, I ensured that the designs met quality standards and adhered to the specifications needed for aerospace applications. Additionally, I was responsible for maintaining accurate design documentation, such as model revisions and technical data, which were critical for seamless communication between the design and manufacturing teams.
This project aimed to analyze the ethanol content present in petrol from various fuel brands and study its impact on vehicle performance and fuel efficiency. With the increasing use of ethanol as a blending agent in petrol to reduce emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, understanding its effect on engine performance becomes crucial. Samples from different brands were collected and tested to determine ethanol concentration using laboratory techniques. The project also involved testing the fuel samples in a controlled engine setup to monitor changes in fuel consumption, engine power output, and emission levels. The results provided insights into how varying ethanol content influences combustion efficiency, engine wear, and overall performance, helping consumers and automobile manufacturers make informed choices regarding fuel selection and engine optimization.
