Rahothaman M

ECE undergraduate with hands-on experience in embedded firmware, bare-metal RTOS development, and on-device TinyML inference. Proven track record in industrial-grade distributed fault-tolerant monitoring systems (RAFT on FreeRTOS), edge AI deployment (TinyML on ESP32), and hardware-software co-design across STM32, ESP32, NXP, and PSoC platforms. Skilled in industrial communication protocols (RS-485, CAN, UART, SPI, I2C) with a strong foundation in real-time systems applicable to logistics automation and IoT-driven operations.

Research Intern at DRDO (Defence Research & Development Organisation) (2025-05 – 2025-07)

Research intern working on control systems and firmware development for BLDC motors and embedded systems

• Implemented FOC + Cascaded PID-based position control of a BLDC motor on the NXP MPC5777C microcontroller; validated the control algorithm end-to-end in MATLAB Simulink, ensuring stable performance across dynamic load conditions - directly applicable to motor-driven automation and conveyor systems.
• Debugged complex multi-state embedded systems (position, speed, current, torque) using state-space analysis; optimized control parameters for improved transient response and reduced resource utilization on constrained hardware.
• Designed and flashed a custom bootloader via JTAG, implementing a complete over-the-wire firmware update workflow - enabling reliable field deployment and remote maintenance of embedded devices.
