About

I am an enthusiastic engineering student with a strong interest in robotics, automation, and assistive technologies. My academic journey has given me a solid foundation in programming, electronics, and control systems, which I actively apply through hands-on projects. Currently, I am working on a personal project, “Coding a Hearing Aid”, where I combine Python, embedded systems, and signal processing to design a device that analyzes audiology data, connects wirelessly via an ESP32-S3, and amplifies targeted sound frequencies in real time. This experience has deepened my skills in circuit design, Arduino/ESP32 development, and FFT-based audio processing. Beyond this, my experience spans autonomous mechatronic systems, robotic arm control using inverse kinematics, and finite element analysis for structural verification. I have also developed functional prototypes using additive manufacturing and implemented PID control for dynamic systems. These projects have honed my ability to integrate hardware and software into reliable, real-world solutions. Driven by curiosity and problem-solving, I aim to contribute to innovative projects that push the boundaries of robotics and intelligent systems. I am particularly interested in roles where I can apply my interdisciplinary skills to develop assistive and automated technologies with meaningful, human-centered impact.
