WHO IS AASHISH MEHTA?

Aashish Mehta Profile Picture

My name is Aashish Mehta (she/they), and I work as a Technical Lead. I got a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bath, and I love learning new things and finding ways to use what I know in my projects.

I like taking things apart and (mostly) putting them back together, or just building something new entirely. In my projects, I usually work with Arduinos, a 3D printer, and wood.

I also love programming and automation, and will spend a good half hour trying to automate a 5-minute task. Honestly, I just want to make my and others’ lives easier – life’s too short to get up and open the blinds myself (or maybe I’m just lazy, who knows).

Music is a big part of my life too. I mostly play the piano and guitar, but really I try to play whatever I can get my hands on. It ties all of my interests together and keeps me sane.

AASHISH MEHTA | EXPERIENCES

Currently, I work as a technical lead using Java, TypeScript and GoLang, and tying it all together with Kubernetes. I have worked with Natural Language Processing tools and Convolutional Neural Networks, both in and out of work. A lot of great work has been done in making AI and ML more accessible and easier to work with. More modularity, especially using different technologies/vendors, will improve how we work with these models.

I built a mobile application for Citizens Advice Redbridge using C# and a cross-platform framework called Xamarin Forms. The app was subsequently been published on the Play Store. 

I’ve also worked with Siemens Digital Industries as a quality engineer, generating automated tests and implementing continuous integration. Here is where I started my C# journey and worked with Azure DevOps to essentially automate my job.

At Camp America, I worked as a counselor teaching music and leading art / sport activities. I also had to make sure all the campers were happy and safe. Unfortunately, there was no Kubernetes equivalent that managed that for me…

If you would like to know more about my experiences, feel free to email me at aashish_mehta[at]outlook.com to ask for my CV. Alternatively, you can head on over to aashishmehta.com/coding to see some of my open-source work.

AASHISH MEHTA | UNIVERSITY

During my final year project, I worked with the Texas Heart Institute on investigating how Machine Learning and Computational Fluid Dynamics could be combined to optimise the geometry of a heart pump. I worked primarily with Ansys Bladegen, MATLAB, and Python.

While at university, I worked with Team Bath Racing Electric AI on an autonomous vehicle. I mainly used Simulink to model the car battery and its connections to the rest of the vehicle.

Additionally, I studied Robotics, Spacecraft Engineering, and Advanced Control. You can find out more about the modules I studied at aashishmehta.com/grades.
