About

I have been a Principal Consultant at Siemens Digital Industries Software for over two years. My core competency is model-based systems engineering (MBSE), which allows me to optimize complex systems' performance, safety, and efficiency using state-of-the-art tools and methods. I help automotive companies design, develop, and deploy cutting-edge technologies. My field of expertise includes vehicle electrification, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and autonomous driving, some of the most challenging and exciting areas of innovation in the automotive industry. With over 24 years of experience in the automotive industry, I have successfully delivered multiple projects for leading global clients, such as Ashok Leyland, where I was the General Manager for three years. I also share my knowledge and skills with the next generation of engineers and researchers as an Adjunct Faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, since March 2023. I aim to drive innovation and transformation in the automotive industry using model-based methodologies.
