Harshil Dodiya

Final-year B.Tech Information Technology student with strong hands-on experience in IoT systems, embedded firmware development, and full-stack software engineering.

I have built real-world projects involving ESP32-based IoT devices, cloud-native platforms, and secure distributed systems. As a Hardware R&D Lead under a government-funded project (SSIP Grant ₹1,00,000), I led the development of a wearable safety device integrating GPS and GSM technologies.

I have also developed scalable backend systems using Node.js, gRPC, and Kubernetes, including an OTA firmware platform capable of handling high-volume IoT telemetry. Additionally, I have contributed to research as a co-author of an IEEE-targeted paper on zero-knowledge encrypted cloud storage.

My core interests lie in IoT, embedded systems, backend engineering, and building scalable real-world solutions. I am currently seeking internship opportunities where I can apply my skills and grow as a Software Engineer.
