Apr 2021 – May 2021 · 1 mo · Una, Himachal Pradesh, India · On-site

• Hardcore Robotics 101 (robotics then was more like cloud computing in 2010, huge tailwind but didn't really explode)
• Self learnt ‘Nerve cable replacement’ (from scratch - first principles) and built a training module around it to train the in-house line haul crew, enabling them to repair robotic arms in-house instead of flying in a German crew every 8 months, which was remarkably expensive. Slashed a major cost header in the process PnL.
• Learnt secondary automation & helped fix issues with the Langen case packer (This packs your Kit-Kat & Maggi cartons) and built a nice looking deck so management could choose between spending money fixing it or scrapping it.
• (Not sure what materialized, completed the internship tenure & returned back to college for a tennis tournament)

• Spent the summer buried in literature learning Natural gas processing and reservoir simulation.
• Covid struck & finished it up online.
• Thought a second-year internship at a PSU would set me apart, didn't really make much of a difference, should’ve just fooled around like a 19 year old (personally translates for : play more tennis & travel).
