Exploring Digital Logic, Analog Electronics & Machine Learning. Designing from first principles.
About
I’m a third-year Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering student at MIT, Anna University. Over the past two years, my curiosity about how complex systems work has evolved into a hands-on obsession with building them. I don't just want to understand the theory; I want to wire it, code it, and make it run.
From designing digital logic in Vivado and soldering IoT prototypes at hackathons to training predictive AI for functional safety, I love operating right where hardware meets software. My philosophy is simple: I build to learn, and I simulate to build better.
Highlights
Runner-up with team TouchGrass.Devs. Built an IoT drainage management system emphasizing real-time sensor data and rapid hardware integration.
Earned 3rd place debugging advanced front-end logic challenges with team TouchGrass.Devs under strict competition time constraints.
Core technical organizer for the MIT college symposium. Orchestrated coding challenges and coordinated all student team tasks end-to-end.
Experience
Gained hands-on industry exposure in large-scale electrical power generation, industrial control systems, and automation instrumentation at one of India's largest public-sector energy companies.
