Hello! I'm Gautam
I'm a recent graduate from University of Technology Sydney. I completed my Master of Professional Engineering (Biomedical), with experience product development and leading global team. My background in design innovation, biomedical instrumentation, project management and leadership inform my creative but competitive approach as an engineering consultant.
​
I am fueled by my passion for understanding the nuances of medical engineering. I consider myself a ‘forever student’, eager to both build on my academic foundations in psychology and sociology and stay in tune with the latest product development and consultancy strategies through continued coursework and professional development.
​
My hunger for knowledge and determination to turn information into action has contributed to my most recent success at Optik Engineering Consultancy, UTS. There, I led innovative design simulation and possible patent application for researchers at UTS. Meanwhile, I vastly improved the productivity of my team by implementing strategic project management methods and ensuring a work-life balance.
​
I believe mindfulness in the workplace is key to success, a tenet I live out through my interests in listening to podcasts, watching TED talks, reflective writing, mobile photography & videography. I am currently seeking opportunities as a Graduate Engineer. I believe every engineer is capable of creating innovative solution for the society to benefit.
