About

Pranav Tilak is a Senior Software Development Engineer at PTC, specializing in computational science. With a keen interest in computational geometry, applied mathematics, and graphical simulation, he thrives in dynamic and collaborative environments. Pranav brings to the table his expertise in algorithms for geometric meshing and computer graphics in OpenGL, coupled with multi-physics and applied mathematics knowledge that augment his software development abilities. Pranav has an impressive track record of developing robust geometric algorithms for a slicer software used in 3D printing during his tenure as a C++ Developer at Simplify3D. He also worked as a Software Developer II at Sigmatek Systems, where he developed CAD/CAM features and geometric algorithms used in the sheet-metal manufacturing industry to optimize machine motion and tool path generation. Pranav is proud of his achievements in implementing the Flyweight Design Pattern through legacy code-base to reduce workspace sizes by up to 80% and developing and maintaining an in-house geometric kernel in C++ used for polygon boolean operations. Pranav holds a Master of Science (MS) in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Mechanical Engineering from Vishwakarma Institute of Technology. He has over six years of relevant experience as a Software Engineer and Polygon expert. Pranav is confident that his complex-algorithm building skills, technical knowledge, and problem-solving abilities make him a great asset. He is available 24*7 via LinkedIn and welcomes any inquiries.
