About

Hands-on electronics and robotics builder who designs, assembles, tests and documents circuits, PCBs and drone/robotic systems.

Experience spans KiCad schematic capture and PCB layout, power electronics (bridge rectifier, 7805 regulator, NE555 and TIP122 motor control), and integrating flight controllers, ESCs, motors, GPS and sensors (LiDAR, SWIR/NIR thermal) with onboard computing.

Methodical about verification: visual inspection, continuity checks and live voltage measurements, backed by wiring diagrams and written test notes. Led a multidisciplinary team as Technical Lead and Vice Chair of IEEE GRSS (50+ people). Seeking an entry-level electronics, hardware testing or automation/robotics technician role where careful troubleshooting and fast learning matter.

Experience

Vice Chair & Technical Lead at IEEE GRSS Student Chapter, Manipal University

Managed 50+ members across technical and operational teams; helped secure ₹7+ lakh in international funding and published 6 research papers during the tenure.
Created SOPs and documentation that gave the next working committee a solid foundation to build on.

Technical Lead at Fifth GRSS Student Grand Challenge – Drone-Based Urban Flood Detection (2024-11 – 2025-01)

Led end-to-end hardware design of a drone system under IEEE guidelines: frame architecture, flight and control electronics, communication (radio, telemetry, FPV) and sensors (SWIR, NIR thermal, 360° and omnidirectional LiDAR), all within a strict budget.
Specified onboard computing (NVIDIA Jetson) and GPS base-and-rover navigation, and engineered autonomous navigation with 360° LiDAR and SLAM integrated with Mission Planner for path planning and obstacle avoidance.
Developed two sensing approaches: LiDAR elevation mapping combined with SWIR/NIR imaging and a machine learning model for surface classification, and L1/L2 GNSS reflectometry for deeper soil moisture.
Coordinated with the Bengaluru Municipal Corporation for data acquisition and validation, and presented the system to stakeholders.

Technical Writer at Open Horizon Robotics, Manipal University (2024-02 – 2025-01)

Authored technical documentation for robotics projects, improving knowledge transfer across cross-functional teams.
Contributed to the technical development and execution of projects and events, supporting delivery and team coordination.

Founder at Devora Design Labs (2024-11 – 2025-05)

Built and ran a web design studio for dental practices; delivered Framer websites and an automated lead-generation workflow (Python, n8n, Google Sheets) scheduled with cron triggers.
