Aspiration: Experienced and self-motivated project lead seeking senior/leadership position.

Experience: 12 years of C++ software development, 10 years in CAD in NX development with concentration

of geometric and topological concepts in modeling application. 3 years Project Management.

Strengths: Multi-tasking, objectivity, strong analytical and critical thinking.

Education: M.S. in Mechanical engineering from Arizona State University (2005)

Skill Set

Technical Computer Aided Design Parasolid C++, C, VC++, STL

Project Lifecycle Waterfall and agile methodologies Requirements Analysis Risk Analysis

Value-Added Leadership Cross-Functional Supervision Productivity optimization Technical consulting

Current: Program Manager / Project lead / Senior Software engr: Siemens PLM (From 2005)

Responsibilities: Program management, project management, 3 direct reports, technical consulting,

architectural enhancements, overseeing technical debt reduction, active programming in C++.

• Mixed Facet/NURBS Modeling: (patent underway). Enhanced ability to work with meshes in NX – the

flagship CAD product. Multi release (3 years) project. As program manager, the job is to digest future

workflows and requirements and shepherd all applications (~13 of them) for this program.

First Release target: 2016. Goal: Introduce NX to new domains like medical implants and empower current

facet based workflows in existing areas.

• 3D Printing: Mentored and led the team to develop Microsoft 3D builder (3MF) based solution to be able to

3D print 3D models directly from NX. Acting as development lead to explore the world of 3D printing and the

role CAD has to play in the domain. Currently working with Stratasys systems for integrated product.

• Architects team: Part of architecture team that consists of representatives from all of sites. Focus: technical

debt, bottlenecks (technical or process), extensibility of the code base, component development.

• Reference Pattern: Led the team in identification and closure of a key customer workflow gap. Improved the

consistency and performance. Late phase project - agile development and risk trade-offs.

• Pattern: Developed C++ based solution to enhance patterning ability in NX. Multi release project. Team of 5.

Achievement: NX now has one of the best patterning abilities in the industry. It involves novel ways to

specify efficient patterns and options to achieve performance or complexity.

• Wave Reparenting: Enabled concurrent modeling while retaining feature relationships. Closed a critical gap

in NISSAN workflows allowing work on multiple versions of design at the same time. Team of 4.

• Maintenance: Being a history based modeler; NX needs careful maintenance and versioning to ensure

customer satisfaction. Successfully stabilized 3 operators (sew, chamfer, revolve), all of which changed from

problem magnets to stable functionality. This routinely involved working with customer critical issues for

customers like GM, Daimler, Canon, Chrysler etc.

Research at ASU: Developed NRep (Neutral Representation) FrameWork, for form feature data exchange.

Selectica: 2000 to 2002: Web based programming to develop solutions (eRRS) for US insurance client (BCBS

Florida). This involved use of RDBMS, SQL, JAVA, Java Script and HTML.

*Working with ‘Make A Wish Foundation’ for 5 years.
