I'm a Robotics & Automation engineering student at Saintgits College of Engineering, Kerala.
I specialize in ROS2, embedded systems, and autonomous robotics β turning ideas into machines that operate in real-world environments. My work spans hardware-software integration, sensor fusion, autonomous navigation, and power system design.
Beyond engineering, I lead technical workshops, coordinate with industry professionals, and mentor peers in robotics fundamentals and ROS2 development.
