Building things that
sense, move, and watch back.

I design and build autonomous hardware systems — from sensor fusion and embedded firmware to the dashboards that make them legible. Most recently, I built TAPIR, an autonomous surveillance rover, for RoboChipX.

TAPIR

Tactical Autonomous Perimeter Inspection Rover
COMPLETE

An autonomous surveillance rover for the RoboChipX hackathon. Splits work across a Raspberry Pi handling cameras and peripherals (RFID, GPS, ultrasonic, servo) and a laptop running real-time object and face detection, all coordinated over a server-client link with an ESP32 driving the motors.

Prototype Builds

Go from idea to working hardware — sensor selection, wiring, firmware, and a functioning proof of concept you can demo.

Embedded CSensor integrationRapid iteration

Systems Integration

Multiple boards, sensors, or subsystems that need to talk to each other reliably — protocol design, debugging, and getting the whole stack to hold up.

Hackathon & Competition Support

Tight deadline, ambitious build. I help teams architect the system, split the work sensibly, and ship something that actually works on demo day.

04 About

I'm based in Chennai, working at the intersection of robotics, embedded systems, and hardware-software integration.

I like projects where the hard part isn't the algorithm, it's getting a camera, a GPS module, an RFID reader, and two microcontrollers to agree on reality at the same time.
