Electronics Engineer

I am an Electronics and Communication Engineering student passionate about robotics, PCB design, VLSI, and FPGA-based systems. As an active member of SRM Team Robocon, I have gained hands-on experience in robot design, embedded systems, and hardware development. I have also worked on Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and e-Yantra robotics projects, exploring the integration of electronics, control systems, and intelligent automation. I aim to develop innovative hardware solutions by combining electronics, robotics, and digital design.

Actuator + Interface Board

Modular Robot Electronics

My first 4-layer PCB, working on first bring-up. A fixed Actuator Board plus a detachable, shield-style Interface Board, so the controller can be swapped without touching the power layer.
