About

As a Simulation Solutions Consultant at Siemens Digital Industries Software, I help potential customers in the auto, aero, electronics, and EV industries in India to achieve their engineering goals using our Simcenter solutions. I leverage my expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), electronics cooling, and battery design and simulation to provide technical support, demonstrations, and proposals for various projects and challenges. I have a strong background in CAE simulations and product development, with a Master of Science in Race Car Aerodynamics from the University of Southampton, and a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from SRM University. Before joining Siemens as a consultant, I was a QA Lead for STAR-CCM+ Electronics Cooling, where I contributed to the quality and usability of our flagship CFD software and related products. I also have skills in programming, testing, and Linux, as well as an AWS Cloud Practitioner certification. I am passionate about engineering innovation and customer satisfaction, and I enjoy working with diverse and talented teams.
