About Tanmay Bhimanwar

I\'m a Mechanical Engineering graduate student at the University of Washington, passionate about solving complex operational and supply chain challenges through structured thinking and data-driven decision making.Over the past few years, I\'ve had the opportunity to work across diverse environments from co-founding a drone manufacturing startup where I scaled production from 0 to 20 units/week, to analyzing EV supply chains where I helped identify $54K in cost savings, to simulating packaging facility operations. These experiences taught me that the best solutions come from deeply understanding a problem before jumping to answers.At UW, I\'ve been deliberately building at the intersection of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering, taking coursework in statistical quality, systems engineering, and operations research because I believe the most impactful engineers are the ones who can connect the shop floor to the boardroom.I\'m currently looking for full-time roles starting June 2026 in Operations & Strategy, Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, TPM, or Consulting — at companies where rigorous thinking and cross-functional collaboration are valued.I\'m always happy to connect, exchange ideas, or just have a good conversation about operations, supply chains, or engineering.
