McKinsey and Company had done a
pre-study pilot (project Eureka) for this
implementation that predicted a savings
of $100 million/month or $1 Billion per
new vehicle program by instituting
Knowledge Management Frameworks
and Reuse of Historical data. This Portal
managed the Design Process that
included Benchmarking, Requirement
Analysis, CAD, CAE, Prototype Build,
Test and Manufacturing Assessment for
all the 15 Engineering Attributes.
Architect, Manage and Maintain Ford’s
e-Learning Management System that
was comprised of coordination of
different courseware, vendors and
presentation mechanisms. Do
troubleshooting, reporting and metrics to
determine the robustness and reliability
of the system. Reported to the Dean of
the Ford Design Institute.
Created Web-based Prediction
Calculators based on Historical data to
conduct “what-if” studies based on
regression analysis (RSM) and neural
networks to ascertain the effect of
changes in vehicle parameters on
attributes. Facilitated Knowledge
Transfer between Ford and Volvo/Mazda
teams.
June 1999 – May 2001
First Engineering Portal developed at
Ford Motor Company. Necessitated a
thorough review of all Portal vendors
and presentation of needs at the KM
World conference in Dallas in 2000.
Utilized off-shore capabilities – another
first at Ford Motor Company.
Coordinated activities between 20
stakeholders, 400 end-users and a team
of 25 in-house and off-shore developers.
March 1998 – February 2002
Coordinated J2EE, ActiveX (.NET),
HTML and CD-Rom based interactive
content for presentation and assessment
with diverse tools and vendors. Final
deployment was to more than 8000 endusers in Product Development
April 1997 – January 2001
Costly simulations, prototype builds and
wind tunnel testing were obviated by
quickly doing these go/no go” analysis.
Final deployment was for a “niche” group
of 25 research & development
engineers. Simulations typically cost in
the hundreds of thousand dollars, while
prototype builds are upwards of 2 million
dollars in cost.
These have been deployed on various Unix platforms, Linux servers and Windows servers via application servers
such as: WebLogic, Web Sphere, Tomcat, Sun (iPlanet) and Enhydra using MVC architecture, POJOs (Plain Old
Java Objects) and EJBs (Enterprise Java Beans).
The basis behind forming Mindware, Inc. based out of Michigan, was to create Knowledge Based Systems on
the web to enable Enterprises to operate efficiently via Portals, Expert Systems, eLearning and coordinated
Process management in the Research, Advanced Engineering and Product Development facilities of the
Automotive sector.
BDrive, based out of the Bay Area in California, was the genesis of Mindware, Inc. to move from a consulting
model to a product centric model. Most of the technologies followed by the two companies utilized concepts in
Systems Engineering, Model Driven Architecture (MDA), Agile Programming, Collaboration, Code Reuse and a
strong decoupling of presentation from the backend source systems. The premise of BDrive was to provide the
Power for Intelligent Collaborative Infrastructures that coordinated New Product Development (NPD) with PLM,
ERP, CRM and other enterprise Legacy systems to enable fast, scalable and secure information transfer between
people and processes.

SOFTWARE PRODUCTIONS
 Aerodynamic Expert System Toolkit, part of the Attribute Expert System tools developed for the Thermal
and Aero Department at Ford Motor Company that was web based and included hot spots on Vehicle
depictions to pop-up help on what-if changes, and a Parametric design of cars and mini-trucks to show how
Coefficient of Drag (Cd) changes are based on shape changes (hood, greenhouse, back-lite, trunk and
addition of spoiler) and how they affected fuel economy (gas mileage) using a historical database.
 Analytics Routines in POJO embedded within Visual Mining NetCharts Designer which is an Eclipse plugin. Details at: www.visualmining.com/products_for_developers/NetCharts_Analytics.php
 Chaos Research – Added FORTRAN based sub-routines to depict Mandelbrot and Julia sets in 2 and 3
dimensions, showcase the Butterfly effect (Lorentz Systems) and other interesting fractals using Mathematical
and Rendering techniques. Also used Quaternion Math (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion) to
dynamically rotate objects that reduced processing time in dynamic imaging in STAR-CD object rendering.
 Events and Thin Liquid Film Modeling in STAR-CD – Built the pre-processing and post-processing for
moving mesh management and particulate formation in STAR-CD.
 Graph Module in STAR-CD – Complete architecture and development of Charting and Analytics modules
within STAR-CD. These included Cartesian, Polar, Bar, Pie, Log, Radar and Spider charts and their
customization and the writing of analysis routines for Fourier Series, Regression, Statistical Processing and
other Mathematical techniques.
 Macros in ANSYS FEA Preprocessor – wrote more than 50 macros in ANSYS that aggregated different
commands that could be run by variable inputs to generate splines, meshes etc from CAD drawings for
building finite element and computational fluid based models
 MANTRA Integrated Development Environment (Versions1 thru 6) architected at Mindware, Inc to
automate application development tasks and manage issues and create metrics. Consisted of modules for
Planning, Issues Management, Email, Schema Design, Design Patterns, Code Generation (MVC
Architecture), Testing, Deploying and Troubleshooting, with Metrics and Comparisons with other projects.
Design Patterns created included XML driven Data Access configurators for Exploring (Tree View), Depicting
(Filter View) and Discovering (pre-AJAX view using the Intelligent Dot technique) to represent the next set of
information by dynamic query of the database. All builds and deployments in MANTRA were coordinated
using ANT scripting.
 Semi-Automated Mesh Modeling in STAR-CD – Using the concept of Marching Cubes, an algorithm used
in Medical Imaging and Astronomy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marching_cubes ), enabled the creation and
rendering of elements of arbitrary shapes, including hidden line and surface, contour and vector plots and
their dynamic rotation. Additionally provided the right geometry file with boundary conditions for fluid dynamics
processing.
EDUCATION
 Master of Science degree with specialization in Structural Engineering, University of Oklahoma,
December 1987. GPA 3.8/4.0
Thesis: “Dynamic Analysis of Large Space Structures” – Developed and implemented an algorithm for
Transient Dynamic Analysis that reduced the matrix size for computations, and also used vectorization
and parallel processing to reduce computational time. Tested on a simulation of a Archimedean Spiral
shaped solar panel structure to be deployed via the Space shuttle and tethered to the International
Space Station, and compared with the same model run using conventional finite element packages
using NASTRAN and ANSYS for verification and computation time savings.
 Bachelor of Technology degree in Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, BHU-Varanasi,
India, June 1985. CGPA 8.91/10.0
Self Study & Projects included Modeling a Cable Stayed Bridge and a Suspension bridge for the
MODEX exhibition, programming in FORTRAN for Operations Research Techniques – the Simplex
Method for CPM and PERT, Structural Analysis for Beams and Trusses, Environmental pollution
management of a Chimney stack and Plotting Hydrographs and Programming Stock charts in PASCAL.
Summer Internships involved overseeing the construction of a Boeing 747 aircraft hangar at the
International Airport in Mumbai (@ DUBON Engineering), and the Design of a Chemical Factory, the
IDBI bank building and several other structures in India and the US (@ PAKTRON Systems).
