I’m an outcomes-driven professional with 14+ years of experience across the full SDLC, bridging industrial hardware interfaces with software algorithms. My background spans industrial-grade machine vision, image processing, and real-time systems engineering, with a strong progression into advanced machine learning and deep learning workflows. I build edge-ready computer vision inspection solutions for smart industrial IoT environments, and I’ve also delivered enterprise analytics and manufacturing intelligence platforms using frameworks such as OpenCV, TensorFlow/PyTorch, and RAG-style AI concepts. Alongside delivery work, I enjoy upskilling into generative and agentic AI architectures, transformer-based models, and retrieval-augmented generation to create practical, deployable solutions.

Work Experience

Senior Consultant at Infosys
November 1, 2018 - February 1, 2023
Automated factory-floor ecosystems by creating Python automation modules that dynamically generate Kepware channels, devices, and tags using Kepware REST APIs. Reduced deployment timelines and integrated systems via REST APIs with Thingworx and JavaScript-based implementations.
Senior Consultant at Infosys
November 1, 2018 - February 1, 2023
Prototyped a Pharma Manufacturing Insights platform using PTC Thingworx with ISA-88/ISA-95 modeling. Designed dashboards including process order, drill-down to batch details, and asset/equipment digital twins. Implemented low-level calculations to derive plant KPIs such as operating time (idle cycle, downtime), planned production time, yield, OEE, and capacity utilization, with drill-down across process and asset levels.
Senior Consultant at Infosys
November 1, 2018 - February 1, 2023
Built spatial/route analytics to analyze participant pathways against physical Bluetooth beacon events. Implemented complex tracking logic with Python data arrays to map and evaluate route optimizations, supporting analytics outcomes for the Beacon Analytics initiative.
Senior Consultant at Infosys
November 1, 2018 - February 1, 2023
Modernized legacy shop-floor and manufacturing analytics frameworks across 9 global industrial manufacturing sites. Built Ignition Perspective dashboards for machines, defects, logbook, shortages, outstanding work, and custom modules, embedding JavaScript libraries (QuillJs) via Ignition WebDev. Developed real-time production tracking, quality metrics, and WIP logging, and connected plant-side data objects for localized performance insights.
Sr. Software Engineer II at Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Solution Kit, Wafer Space Semiconductors
November 1, 2016 - September 1, 2018
Led engineering activities for an ADAS solution kit by defining requirements and specifications for the Center of Excellence. Designed and implemented embedded real-time computer vision modules for lane detection and lane departure warning using OpenCV, including advanced preprocessing (IPM, edge detection, Hough transforms, segmentation) and deployment on ARM-based embedded Linux.
Software Engineer at MindFlow Technologies
August 1, 2007 - July 1, 2016
Supported an ISRO space mission camera module (Hawkeye) for high dynamic range continuous capture at 60 fps. Assisted with GUI test-case preparation, functional/system testing, bug logging/verification, test reporting, and user manual preparation under varying temperature and integration time conditions.
Software Engineer at MindFlow Technologies
August 1, 2007 - July 1, 2016
Built industrial streaming camera and currency counting systems using embedded C and Blackfin hardware. Implemented USB streaming at 25 fps, DMA interrupt-driven frame capture, image binarization prior to streaming, and GUI-level display/counting for captured currency notes. Integrated communication over USB, SPI, and I2C with sensor settings stored in SPI flash.
Sr. Software Engineer at MindFlow Technologies
August 1, 2007 - July 1, 2016
Developed industrial digital camera inspection systems for wire separation distance measurement and verification in soap processing automation. Implemented precise edge detection (Canny/OpenCV), measurement logic to classify defective wire distances, and built validation using regression/testing approaches.
S r. Software Engineer at MindFlow Technologies
August 1, 2007 - July 1, 2016
Engineered an automated high-speed machine vision inspection system for a moving packaging line to detect presence/absence of text at up to 160 bottles per minute. Built sensor integration and real-time firmware pipelines on Blackfin (BF527) with DMA frame capture, implemented image preprocessing and defect detection using Gaussian filtering and adaptive/Otsu-based thresholding plus morphological operations, and created low-latency USB streaming with C# dashboard integration.
