About Me

Hi, I'm Varad Pramod Lad, a Mechanical Engineering graduate student with experience in CAD design, manufacturing, production, project management, supply chain management and quality control. I'm currently pursuing my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Arizona State University, USA. I am passionate about creating innovative solutions to complex problems. I have a passion for technology and engineering, which I have pursued through my professional experience. In Fall 2022, I had the previlage of working with NASA Marshalls. At NASA, I served as project inspector and monitored a record of inventory levels and material flow. I also utilized NX to create CAD design models and identified KPP (Key Performance Parameter) to optimize quantitative data. (Read about my professional experience and the project I worked on below) In my free time, I run a successful YouTube Channel with over 9,000 subscribers and 1 Million total views. I have created content for multiple brands and collaborated with renowned movie directors. I also have a passion for creating content and have experience in video and audio editing, social media management, creative problem-solving, analytical thinking, and marketing strategy. I'm always looking for ways to use my skills and knowledge to create something amazing. I am currently seeking an internship opportunity starting summer 2023 in a developed and growing Mechanical/Industrial organization. I'm excited to see what the future holds!
