Hi, It's Abhay

I'm a Recent Mechanical and Digital Engineering Graduate from the University of Calgary

I'm a highly motivated Mechanical Engineering Graduate with a passion for innovation and sustainability. I excel in dynamic, cross functional environments , leveraging my expertise in project management and design tools like SolidWorks, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Project, alongside programming and analysis tools such as MATLAB, and Power BI. My minor in digital engineering has also equipped me with skills in Python and the application of AI and machine learning. With a solid background in Project Management and manufacturing , I am seeking new graduate positions where I can grow and embrace new opportunities.

Outside of my classes and work, you’ll likely find me watching or playing sports! I love traveling, spending time with family and friends, and trying new foods. I also enjoy exploring new hobbies; recently, I got into making videography content!

My Work Experience

TC Energy

August 2024- Present

- As a Project Coordinator, I have supported 50+ pipeline integrity projects valued at 150M+, collaborating with 10 Project Managers and various external construction contractors in the maintenance of natural gas pipelines and facilities across Canada
- Led application development initiatives to automate and streamline project deliverables by gathering project requirements and implementing digital solutions to improve tracking efficiency by 50%.
- Worked closely with the CER (Canada Energy Regulator), ensuring that Operations and Maintenance concerns were adequately addressed by stakeholders, including Indigenous, Land and Regulatory representatives. This included liaising with Area Managers and Field Work Planners for permitting to ensure regulatory compliance. .
- Led Tube Turn and Nipple Refurbishment program, creating data analytics and bi-weekly reports for departmental leadership; analyzed engineering reports and checklists to verify completion.

TC Energy

May 2022- September 2023

- As a Project Execution Intern, facilitated Value Engineering initiatives by drafting and submitting Engineering Variances, Construction RFIs and Change Directives using Bluebeam and Autodesk Design Review, resulting in cost savings of $200K.
- Facilitated Value Engineering initiatives by drafting and submitting Engineering Variances, Construction RFIs and Change Directives using Bluebeam and Autodesk Design Review, resulting in cost savings of $200K.
- Led project meetings with various Stakeholders, coordinated material and design reviews, participated in bid evaluations, and completed Stage Gate reviews.
- Developed and implemented an automated data visualization tool using Power BI to track and update progress of all Canada Gas Pipeline Integrity Projects resulting in streamlined communication between Stakeholders.
- Led a valve replacement preliminary project, worked with cross functional teams to facilitate the scope of work, created purchase orders and coordinated resources with pipeline technicians to ensure project completion.

Multifunctional Engineering, Dynamics, and Automation Lab (MEDAL)

May 2021- August 2021

- Retrofitted a pellet extruder onto a 3D printer, capable of printing conductive material for the construction of sensors and printed electronics.
- Created Standard Operating Procedures and safety sheets of 3d printed prototypes
- Researched, drafted models, and 3D printed auxetic material lattices to validate and characterize physical properties.
- Constructed an amplifier voltage drop circuit to capture real-time changes in resistance of conductive materials undergoing cyclic bending using LabVIEW and a DAQ device.

Student Organization for Aerospace Research (SOAR)

2021- 2021

- Performed fiberglass layups for body tubes, fins and nose cone of a hybrid rocket, resulting in a reinforced structure that met design constraints.
- Constructed testing assembly from 2’x4’ wood planks and wooden slabs for fin testing, performed epoxy bonding and fiberglass layups to assess bond strength through loading tests.
- Modeled Nosecone tip to conduct CFD analysis using ANSYS to for aerodynamic testing, determined temperature profile based on the Mach number and flight parameters to select suitable heat sync materials.
- Tested and prototyped rocket fin designs using SOLIDWORKS, utilizing carbon-fiber plates for production and effectively collaborated with other teams to integrate propulsion, avionics, and payload subsystems into the airframe.

Project Portfolio

Mchanical Engineering Capstone Project

The goal of this capstone project was to design and construct a lab-scale wind-turbine prototype to be used in 1m x 1m open-jet wind tunnel. Modularity and electrical integration were emphasized in this project, to allow for testing of a variety of blade profile designs
