MEng, University of Windsor, 2026. Trained and worked across five countries. Every number on this site traces to a report or a resume.
I grew up in Doha, studied engineering in Kolkata, and finished my Master of Engineering in Windsor, with training stops at NASA Kennedy Space Center and the National University of Singapore along the way. Five countries and three education systems teach you one thing above all: walk into an unfamiliar setup, figure out how it actually works, then make it better. That is the habit I bring to every team.
I build things when nobody asks me to. I rewrote an old course project into a modern C++ Sudoku solver on my own time, built a full-stack game rating app during a training placement and rebuilt it two years later as a live, tested product, and co-designed the AI use-case submission process at the City of Windsor, from the form structure to the prioritization criteria. I would rather understand the whole system before I touch a part of it, and I would rather ship something measurable than describe something impressive.
Away from work I am a sports person through and through: Formula 1, football, cricket and basketball, the kind of fan who cares about the strategy and the preparation as much as the result. I love nostalgia, old kits and old highlights included, I love travelling and exploring new places, and I value my own space to think and to build. Most weekends I am either upskilling with a new certification or deep in a Football Manager save, arguing with myself about squad rotation.
The short version: adaptable, self-directed, and precise about evidence. If that sounds like someone you would want on your team, the resumes are one click up and the proof is one click down.
Each one pairs what I understand with what I have already delivered.
Reconciliation, reporting and dashboards in Power BI, DAX, SQL, Excel and Python. I clean the data, find what is wrong with it, and show leadership what it means.
IT support, documentation and coordination across ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Power Automate. I make it easier for staff to find answers and for projects to keep moving.
MATLAB/Simulink controllers, Verilog on FPGA, embedded firmware in C and C++, and Siemens PLC fundamentals. I do not stop at "it works"; I benchmark it.
