Aditya Shankar Wadhwa

Fusing intelligent software with physical machinery to automate industrial systems and measurably scale high-volume manufacturing throughput.

ADITYA SHANKAR WADHWA
SCROLL

Five internships across four industries — smartphones, refrigeration, electricals and capital markets — taught me one thing that a lecture hall cannot: a factory is a system that argues back. My job is to listen to it in the language it speaks — production bottlenecks, automated logic, and business insights — and answer with scalable, engineered solutions.

Things built, not described

P/01

PLC-Based Part Detection & Sorting System

Optical sensors feed a ladder-logic program that classifies parts in real time on a simulated assembly line — detection, decision and diverter in one loop.

P/02

Augmented Reality Machine Training

An industrial training app built solo in Unity and Vuforia: a pipe-bending machine you can walk around, pull apart and run — before you ever touch the real one.
