CAREER OBJECTIVE________________________________________________________________________________________________ 
I am currently working as a software engineer in the finance domain. I am looking for career opportunities for an entry-level 
position in embedded systems. I am comfortable working with both embedded hardware and software. 

EDUCATION________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 
• B.E., Electronics Engineering, Sardar Patel Institute of Technology  9.04/10 2016-2019 
• Diploma, Electronics and Telecommunication, Thakur Polytechnic  92.65% (Academic Topper) 2013-2016 
• S.S.C., St. Francis D’Assisi High School  89.45%   2012-2013 

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE_______________________________________________________________________________________ 
Indus Valley Partners, Associate Software Engineer   June 2019 - Present 
• Case Study (Security Master) - Developed a complete database in Microsoft SSMS and backend in .NET Core. 
• Client - Benefit Street Partners, New York subsidiary of Franklin Templeton - Implemented a time tracking solution in C#. 
Enhanced and optimized the backend structure of Polaris (IVP product). Designed reports in Microsoft SSRS. 
Tata Consultancy Services, Academic Intern     May 2018 - July 2018 
• Developed a dashboard in ASP.NET for Autoliv Inc. which displayed details of employees. 
• Detected cars, pedestrians, traffic lights and signs using Python for assisting ground-truth generation. 

ACADEMIC PROJECTS______________________________________________________________________________________________ 
• Short-Term Meter-Level Load Forecasting (B.E. final year project, 2019): Hybrid of ARIMA and LSTM was used for 
prediction of next day’s electric energy consumption using Smart Meters of London area. 
• PLC based Hydroponics system (Appreciation prize at Mitsubishi Electric Cup, 2018): Automation of Hydroponics system 
(method of growing plants in a soilless nutrient-rich solution) using PLC and HMI. The energy required for system operation 
was obtained from a solar panel mounted on dual-axis solar tracker. 
• Attendance Management System (B.E. mini-project, 2018, Runner-up at NBF Tech Challenge): Face recognition based 
paperless system developed for the entire class to avoid manual signature marking. 
• Asset Health Monitoring System (TCS EngiNX 2017 IoT Challenge Finalist): Developed a Real-Time Vehicle Tracking, Engine 
Health Monitoring and Switching, and Drowsy Driver Detection System. 
• Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm (B.E. mini-project, 2017, 3rd Prize at Department level): Hand Tracking was done using 
image processing and these coordinates actuated the Bluetooth controlled Robotic Arm. 
• Data Logger and Acquisition System (Diploma final year project, 2016, 1st Prize at Department level): Logged and displayed 
real-time system temperature, water level & volume with alarm feature using 8051. The code was developed in assembly 
language for faster operation. 

ACHIEVEMENTS AND CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES__________________________________________________________________ 

• Peer-reviewed paper related to deep learning in health-care for IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational 
Intelligence, July 2019. 
• First place in Line Seguidor (line following robot) competition at Annual Technical Fest Matrix 2017.
