About

I work at the intersection of technology, engineering, and business—turning emerging technologies into practical, scalable products and manufacturing capabilities.

With 8+ years of experience in Metal Additive Manufacturing and Directed Energy Deposition (DED), my work has evolved from process development into building complete technology systems—from R&D and machine architecture to automation, controls, software, data, and industrial deployment.

I see myself as a Technology Enabler: bringing together people, technologies, and engineering disciplines to solve complex problems and create new capabilities.


My experience spans:

• Technology strategy and R&D

• Advanced manufacturing and Metal 3D Printing

• Machine and product development

• Mechatronics, robotics, optics, controls and software

• Process development and industrial scale-up

• Data acquisition, process monitoring & closed-loop control

• Simulation and digital engineering

• Industrial automation & Special Purpose Machines

• Technology commercialization & productization


I enjoy working on problems where multiple technologies have to come together to create something that did not exist before. My approach is systems-oriented—connecting mechanical engineering, materials, manufacturing, electronics, software, robotics, optics and data to build reliable, scalable solutions.



A key question that drives my work is:

How do we move from proving that a technology works to making it reliable, repeatable, scalable and commercially useful?


My current focus includes the development of large-format Metal 3D Printing systems for high-performance manufacturing, along with advanced automation and manufacturing technologies for industrial applications.

I hold a PhD in Metal Additive Manufacturing from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka and have contributed to 10+ international journal publications, 12+ international conference presentations and several book chapters.


My work has been recognized with:

🏅 Special Achievers Award

🏅 Best Research Award in DED Applications

🏅 Best PhD Thesis Award


Beyond engineering, I am passionate about technology communication, visualization and knowledge sharing. I believe technology leadership is not just about understanding technology—it is about creating a vision, connecting the right capabilities, enabling teams, and turning ideas into real-world outcomes.


My long-term ambition is to lead technology at the intersection of R&D, product development, advanced manufacturing and business—building technology capabilities that create lasting competitive advantage.
