I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering at the University of Florida. My interests and experience are in the areas of Computer architecture, Embedded systems, FPGA accelerators, Compilers and Internet of Things research, Advance Driver Assistance Systems, Pattern recognition, and Computer Vision and Machine Intelligence. I'm a motivated individual that is passionate about what I do and is interested in what the future holds. My goal is to constantly look for ways to improve my technological and administrative abilities. My education has equipped me with a strong sense of social responsibility, as well as solid and transferrable intellectual and practical skills, and the capacity to apply that knowledge in practical situations.
I've worked on projects whose main goal was to investigate the enormous potential of collecting the subjectivity of real-world data and turning it into the objectivity of computational, creating smarter systems. Autonomous vehicles, robotics, renewable energy, and computer engineering are all things that I find fascinating. I'm currently looking for possibilities in these domains so that I can advance both personally and professionally. I also want to use new engineering methods and approaches to be creative in finding solutions to challenging technical issues that will enhance systems and contribute to their success.

As an engineer, I have gained a range of experience through various internships in India. I have worked in embedded software, data science, electronics, project engineering, cyber security, and electrical engineering roles.

In my embedded software internship at New Tech Synergy Systems, I designed a system for automated verification of thermal synchronization on Fyber Control units, taking care of all aspects of electronics design of an embedded system, including high-speed digital, power management, and PCB layouts.

At Bussan Auto Finance Pvt. Ltd., I worked on designing a data cleaning and management model for efficient financial processes. I gained knowledge about CRM and strategic needs, and conducted thorough metadata and data analysis to identify sensitive data.

In my electronics internships at Hero Motors and BVG India Limited, I designed a flywheel-based BMS framework for solar bicycles and a small-scale IoT-based image processing scanner and power management system, respectively. I gained insights into the implementation of mechatronics technologies in electric vehicles and the scope of management and simulation technologies in facility management.

In my project engineering internship at Hero Motors, I completed my final year project on a smart grid battery management system for electrical cycles. I gained knowledge about innovative technologies used in leading large-scale production.

At CERT-IN, MeitY, Government of India, I developed an IoT-based vulnerability scanner, while also learning about national security and cyber attacks.

Lastly, in my electrical engineering internship at BHAVINI, Government of India, I designed a solar-powered inverter used in the functioning of 500 Mwe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor.

Overall, my diverse experience in engineering has equipped me with a broad range of technical skills and knowledge that I can bring to any future projects and opportunities
