About

I'm a graduate student in Embedded Systems at CU Boulder with hands-on experience in firmware development, real-time systems, PCB design, and low-level embedded programming in C/C++. I've worked on everything from low-power bluetooth communication to FPGA-based microprocessor design and sensor integration using I2C/SPI and RTOS. As a Graduate TA for real-time and vision-based embedded courses, I’ve mentored students on hardware-software co-design and real-world debugging. My strengths lie in writing efficient embedded code, designing and testing hardware systems, and building robust communication stacks. I enjoy solving challenging system-level problems that blend software, hardware, and timing constraints. Always looking to collaborate on cutting-edge embedded or firmware projects that demand precision, optimization, and creative engineering.

Embedded Design Engineering Intern

Sep 2021 – Mar 2022 · 6 mos · Pune Division, Maharashtra, India

Prototype Advancement & Firmware Development: Upgraded the existing board design by consolidating controllers, transitioning from a SAMD21 and ESP32 setup to a single ESP32 without compromising functionality. Led the end-to-end process, including prototype testing, schematic and PCB design, and firmware development, ultimately bringing the product to market.
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Board Design: Designed and developed a custom board for product development using the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. Managed the entire process from initial schematic design to PCB creation, integrating HDMI and USB 2.0 functionality. Implemented a single-button interface for power control and enhanced user interaction by adding multi-functional capabilities post-power activation for the same button using python and Raspbian.
