Systems Engineer, making sure it works, and works safely.
I work across RAMS & reliability, requirements management, and safety assurance on satellite, rail, and defence programs — turning failure modes, hazards, and requirements into traceable, verifiable engineering.
Requirements, reliability, and everything that has to hold up.
I'm a systems engineer with an M.Eng. in Aerospace from the University of Toronto and hands-on RAMS experience across satellite, launcher, defence, and rail programs. I specialize in FMECA, reliability & FIT prediction, and system safety and hazard analysis, applying ECSS dependability standards, FIDES physics-of-failure prediction, and quantitative risk assessment.
In parallel, I manage the system requirements lifecycle — baselines, traceability, verification closure, and configuration control — in IBM DOORS Next Generation across multi-billion-dollar infrastructure programs, and translate system-level requirements into design specifications.
I bring a strong aircraft-engineering foundation in airframe fatigue and fracture, UAV dynamics, and aircraft safety investigation, and I'm currently working toward my P.Eng. designation (exam Nov 2026) and INCOSE systems engineering certification.
Where I've worked.
RAM & Safety Engineer — PAZ-2 Satellite Mission
Perform FMECA to ECSS-Q-ST-30-02C on satellite payload electronic units, tracing failure modes from component through subsystem to spacecraft-level effect and escalating critical items to the Project Critical Items List. Produce reliability and FIT predictions using FIDES (UTE C 80-811), building mission life profiles and component stress models to derive unit failure rates.
Requirements Manager — OnCorr GO Expansion Rail Program
Manage the system requirements lifecycle in IBM DOORS Next Generation — baselines, traceability matrices, verification closure, and compliance reporting — coordinating integration across ~12 engineering disciplines. Own configuration and change management; authored the Requirements Management Plan and built an internal Python tool that automates requirements classification.
Track Design Engineer — Scarborough Subway Extension
Develop track design specifications and technical documentation aligned to system-level requirements, covering geometry, gauge, rail section and special trackwork. Support design verification, drawing quality checking, supplier coordination, and interface resolution across TPF, structures, architecture, and tunnel disciplines.
International Secondment — SENER Connect Program
Selected for SENER's international engineering exchange. Performed FMECA on the THEMIS (ESA reusable launcher) grid-fin system, developed Preliminary and Subsystem Hazard Analysis for a client-confidential defence program, and led a hydrogen Quantitative Risk Assessment (HyRAM) for the HYMPULSO rail demonstrator with Talgo.
Research Assistant — Sparrowtronics (SPATICS)
Stealth UAV program for India's DRDO; load, dynamics and structural analysis using NASTRAN, ANSYS and AutoCAD.
M.Eng., Aerospace Science & Engineering
Followed by B.Tech., Mechanical Engineering, Presidency University, Bangalore — June 2021, GPA 9.30/10.00.
Selected work.
THEMIS — ESA Reusable Launcher
Performed FMECA on the grid-fin system across four mission phases, analysing failure modes from part level to launcher-level structural effect, with phase-dependent severity and mitigation actions.
Defence System Safety
Developed Preliminary and Subsystem Hazard Analysis (PHA/SSHA), classifying hazards by severity and probability and producing per-phase risk matrices to drive design corrective actions. Client-confidential program.
HYMPULSO — Hydrogen Rail Demonstrator
Conducted a hydrogen Quantitative Risk Assessment using the HyRAM methodology, combining deterministic consequence modelling with probabilistic leak-frequency analysis to derive risk across leak scenarios. With SENER / Talgo.
Boeing 737 Fuselage Stress Analysis
Fatigue and fracture analysis of AL 7475-T7351 airframe alloy in ANSYS and CATIA, evaluating fatigue life, fracture toughness and crack growth in fuselage skin.
Piper Arrow II Aircraft Investigation
On-site inspection with an 8-member team producing a phase-one investigation report supporting event sequencing and safety analysis.
UAV Dynamics Modelling & Simulation
Dynamic models and control systems for fixed-wing and multi-rotor UAVs, with controller tuning and maneuver simulation in Simulink.
