Danish Tharvani - Technical Manager
Danish is a second-year mechanical engineering student who loves to play sports and volunteer in the local community.
As a Technical Manager, he will work with Arvind to improve building designs, do a building analysis using software, ensure that designs meet code, and create a 3D model of the building. Danish will ensure that all of this is done within budget and share materials required for procurement and make any necessary design revisions. ​
When Danish first learned of Projects with Underserved Communities, he knew it was something that he wanted to be a part of. His combined love for engineering and service make him a valuable part of PUC, as he lives out PUC’s core values.
He believes that education serves as the foundation on top of which one can improve their quality of life and hopes that others feel the same way and will support our project.
After graduation, Danish would like to gain practical experience and later attend graduate school.
Arvind Ramachandra - Technical Manager
Arvind is a second-year Mechanical Engineering student who enjoys biking, swimming, and playing ultimate frisbee.
As a Technical Manager, he will work with Danish to improve building designs, do a building analysis using software, ensure that designs meet code, and create a 3D model of the building. Arvind will ensure that all of this is done within budget and share materials required for procurement and make any necessary design revisions. ​
He was drawn to PUC because of the unique opportunity it provided – to utilize skills we have learned in the classroom to find solutions to “real-world” problems . He says, “PUC sets the table for what students can expect to see post-graduation - specifically in terms of understanding the many new challenges that the latest generation of engineers will be tasked with solving.”
By the end of his time at university, he hopes that he will be able to apply what he has learned to better assist a community, whether local or abroad.
After graduation, he has plans to go into the workforce and then return for an MBA.
