Building at the
Edge of Things

I'm an Electronics & AI engineering student from Chalakudy, Kerala — obsessed with the point where firmware meets intelligence. From flashing microcontrollers at 3am to training models that run on 256KB of RAM, I build things that work in the real world.

My background spans mechanical fabrication (lathe, welding, CNC) and software systems (full-stack IoT, ML pipelines, WebSocket interfaces). I believe the best engineers are also craftspeople.

Currently pursuing B.Tech in CSE (AI) at Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology, while building projects that blur the line between hardware and software.

Things I Love Building

📡

Smart Connected Devices

Designing hardware that responds intelligently to its environment — from sensor fusion to cloud sync, making the physical world programmable.

🤖

AI on Microcontrollers

Embedding intelligence into constrained devices — TinyML, edge inference, and neural networks running on kilobytes of RAM with real-world latency.

🔧

DIY Electronics & Fabrication

Soldering iron in hand, schematic on screen — building from scratch, debugging signals, and the satisfaction of hardware that actually works.

🌍

Solving Real Problems
