Embedded Systems Engineer — Bengaluru, India
I build hardware–software systems end to end — sensors and PCBs through firmware, validation and cloud telemetry. Currently at Ather Energy, on system integration and test automation for EV motor controllers and drivetrain ECUs.
01 — About
I am an Electronics & Communication engineer who has spent the last several years validating, debugging and building embedded products — from EV drivetrain ECUs at Ather Energy to a haptic navigation wearable for blind users, a medical biosignal platform, and battery management validated across 48V–350V.
My work sits where hardware, firmware and systems engineering meet: root-causing field failures by correlating cloud vehicle data against CAN logs, building Python and LabVIEW automation that cuts validation cycle time, and owning boards from schematic through EMI/EMC compliance.
Outside full-time roles I have founded a biochar materials startup, co-founded a university makerspace, and built a long list of personal hardware — much of it aimed at accessibility and assistive tech.

03 — Work
MedTech · Freelance
Led mixed-signal hardware architecture using the MAX86150 for combined PPG/ECG acquisition. Three PCB iterations, custom gold-plated dry electrodes, and a 10-month clinical pilot across NABL labs and hospitals in New Delhi deriving 40 health parameters.
Research · Startup
A graphene-anode hybrid cell with homebrew electrolyte on a semi-biodegradable flexible substrate — 1.8–2.1 V with supercapacitor charge speed and battery-grade retention.
Personal
Custom DVR/NVR stack on Ubuntu recording IP-camera RTSP streams — FFmpeg segmentation, automatic storage rollover, Tailscale mesh, and Raspberry Pi edge buffering for outage resilience.
Accessibility
A cursor-pointing device built on ADXL345 and ATmega32u4 for users with limited wrist movement, with gesture controls that cut the effort of everyday interaction.
Smart India Hackathon
Low-cost crash detection and SOS beacon with theft protection on ESP32 and NRF24L01+, built against a Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd. problem statement.
Medical · Assistive
A smart cane on ESP32 and an MPU6050 IMU that tells a dropped cane apart from a fallen person, alerting caretakers with real-time GPS location.

*IDN? who am I actually talking to SOUR:VOLT 48.0 set the rail SOUR:CURR:LIM 5.0 limit before the DUT ever sees it OUTP ON MEAS:VOLT:DC? read back what actually landed, MEAS:CURR:DC? never trust the setpoint
05 — Channel
This domain is named after the channel, not the CV. Alongside the day job I build hardware in the open — the boards, the bring-up, the parts that did not work first time.
Most engineering content shows the finished thing. The useful half is the revision that failed, the noise that took a week to find, the layout that had to be redone. That is the half I try to keep in.
06 — Contact
Open to conversations about embedded systems, hardware validation and product engineering. I read every message.
