About me

"Making things look simple by creating complex processes behind is what I do."

As I grew up, I'm addicted to engineering, those days were famous for thinner and more attractive televisions, mobile phones. I completed my undergraduate studies in one of the top-affiliated Universities, Anna University in India, in Electronics and Communications Engineering. Embedded Systems was my area of interest, over the period I have worked on numerous projects such as line follower robot, 5x5x5 LED cube, gesture-controlled robot, maze solving with shortest path algorithm, etc. My thirst for engineering is never-ending, so, I applied to a few of the best Universities for my Master's degree in the United States to explore my resources then I landed at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA. During my academics, I have done projects in diverse areas such as Control Systems, Systems Identification, Real-time Embedded Systems. Few of them are Adaptive Cruise control, Helicopter control, Prediction of the Energy Consumption of a Building using the Black Box model, Home Monitoring and Automation using Raspberry Pi.
