About

As a hardware developer, I bring a wealth of experience in microcontroller programming, circuit design, and PCB development, alongside proficiency in creating software for hardware interaction using Python and Processing. I have an advanced understanding of key platforms such as Arduino, STM32, Microchip, Atmel microcontrollers, ESP Modules, and Raspberry Pi, and I frequently apply this expertise while teaching workshops for M.Des students in basic electronics, sensor integration, and physical computing. My skills also include developing IoT systems and crafting dynamic web interfaces with WordPress and Next.js. I have worked extensively on electronics for kinetic sculptures, high-torque motor systems, and prototyping techniques such as laser cutting and 3D printing, ensuring innovative solutions tailored to diverse project needs.

Creative Technologist

Dec 2005 – Present · 20 yrs 3 mos · Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India · On-site

As a Creative Technologist at the National Institute of Design (NID), I specialize in bridging the gap between technology and design. I guide B.Des and M.Des students in electronics hardware and firmware development, conducting workshops on Physical Computing, Sensor Interfacing, and Arduino. I also support various academic courses, including Interaction Design, Technical Studies, ESID (Embedded Systems and Interaction Design), Multisensory, and Open Electives.
My role extends beyond teaching, as I contribute to research and client projects, developing solutions such as vaccine cooling systems, multitouch tables, and mobile data analysis systems. I provide electronics support for major events like IIJS, Hackathons, and Convocations, ensuring seamless integration of technology into exhibitions and student projects.
I manage the Mechatronics lab, maintaining a sensor library and offering hands-on prototyping experience using 3D printing, laser cutting, and microcontrollers like Arduino, STM32, and Raspberry Pi. My expertise allows students to explore innovative, tech-driven solutions in their projects, while I continuously foster an environment for creative experimentation and technical learning.
