Background

About Ranak Agarwal

As a Marine Engineer with over 5 years of global experience managing high-stakes operations and maintenance onboard merchant vessels, I’ve led critical engineering projects, optimized system performance, and ensured 98%+ equipment uptime under stringent international safety standards. Now, as an incoming Master of Engineering Management (MEM) candidate at Northwestern University with a focus on Project Management, I’m pivoting my career to lead technical and operational projects in high-impact industries such as manufacturing, supply chain, and tech. I bring deep experience in asset lifecycle management, cross-functional leadership, and cost-effective maintenance strategies — all backed by a sharp analytical mindset and hands-on exposure to complex systems. I’m currently upskilling in SQL, Tableau, Python, and R to strengthen my data-driven decision-making toolkit. I’m actively seeking internship or full-time opportunities in project management, operations leadership, or process optimization where I can apply my technical foundation in a business-oriented setting. Let’s connect if you're looking for someone who understands both the machine and the mission.
