About Barun Kumar Shaw

I am a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate (2nd Semester) at Narula Institute of Technology (MAKAUT), focused on bridging the gap between computational logic and heavy mechanical systems. My objective is to build a robust technical foundation for the Aerospace, Defence, and Heavy Manufacturing sectors.Computational Problem Solving & AutomationTo apply fluid dynamics practically, I developed a Python-based 1D Pipeline Hydraulics Solver from scratch. It resolves the implicit Colebrook-White equation via custom fixed-point iteration, seeded with the Haaland (1983) approximation, and integrates physical safety thresholds for cavitation without relying on external libraries. Design for Manufacturability (DFM) & CADI approach CAD with the mindset that a model is only viable if it can be physically manufactured. While advancing my proficiency in SolidWorks, FreeCAD, and AutoCAD, I actively apply principles learned in the college workshop. Hands-on exposure to lathe operations, as well as arc,and mig welding, has given me a practical understanding of shop-floor constraints and fabrication tolerances.Operational Management & Systems ThinkingPrior to engineering school, I developed practical systems thinking by assisting in the management of my family\'s retail business. Overseeing inventory logistics, vendor coordination, and stock optimization taught me resource management and operational discipline under real financial pressure. This experience keeps my engineering approach grounded in practical, cost-effective execution.Current Focus & Industry AlignmentI am expanding my skill set in MATLAB and Python for engineering workflows and mechanical systems analysis. I am actively connecting with industry professionals and seeking foundational internships in Industrial Automation, Defense, and Heavy Machinery to apply my academic learning to real-world engineering challenges.Interests & Extracurricular PursuitsAutomotive Design & Formula 1:analyze F1 racing as a real-time case study in mechanical packaging, aerodynamics, and high-performance engineering limits.Strategic & Physical Conditioning: I play chess to develop strategic patience and analytical thinking, while maintaining physical endurance through football, cricket, and cycling.Animal Welfare:I am deeply committed to animal welfare and aim to leverage my future professional growth to support and contribute to animal-focused NGOs.Leta connect and build together.
