About

An engineer working at the seam between hardware and cloud.

My work is strongest where a connected product needs both technical depth and a professional finish: embedded systems that behave reliably, telemetry that stays legible, and interfaces that make complexity feel organized.

I build the invisible layer: firmware on the edge, data pipelines in motion, and cloud-backed systems that turn raw signals into something useful.

I enjoy projects that demand end-to-end thinking, from device communication and protocols to the way the final system is presented to the people using it.

My background includes a B.Tech in Computer Science with an IoT specialization, a minor in robotics, and hands-on experience at Intellikonnect Solutions working with Tvilight B.V.

Technical background combines connected products, control systems, and applied vision work.

Expertise

A stack shaped by real devices, real signals, and real deployment constraints.

I am most comfortable where firmware, protocols, cloud systems, and product thinking need to work together instead of existing as separate layers.

  • ESP32, STM32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, RS485, UART, I2C, SPI
  • Firmware logic, device communication, and control-oriented implementation
  • Practical debugging for physical systems, not just code in isolation
Cloud + systems

Telemetry that stays usable at scale.

  • AWS IoT Core, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, MQTT, REST, dashboards
  • Cloud-linked product flows that connect edge data to operational insight
  • Architectures designed for reliability, clarity, and maintainable handoff

Signature Builds

Projects shaped by both range and systems discipline.

These builds span industrial IoT, environmental telemetry, robotics, and computer vision. Each one sharpened a different part of how I approach product engineering.

/ 01 Industrial IoT

Industrial Asset Monitoring System

ESP32-based gateways collect telemetry over RS485 and forward it through MQTT to AWS IoT Core, helping legacy industrial systems behave like modern connected assets.

AWS IoT Core ESP32 MQTT RS485
View build notes +

Built to modernize legacy industrial equipment by translating field telemetry into a cloud-readable monitoring system.

Problem

Legacy machines lacked clean visibility and remote telemetry.

Approach

Used ESP32 gateways, RS485 links, and MQTT into AWS IoT Core.

Outcome

Created a path from offline assets to trackable, connected infrastructure.

/ 02 Environmental

IoT Weather Station

A full weather telemetry setup capturing temperature, humidity, pressure, and rainfall, streamed into Blynk dashboards for real-time monitoring and visualization.

Sensors ESP32 Blynk Data Visualization
View build notes +

Designed as an end-to-end weather telemetry system that made environmental data understandable in real time.

Problem

Needed a clean way to observe multiple environmental signals live.

Approach

Connected sensors to ESP32 and streamed readings into Blynk dashboards.

Outcome

Delivered a practical telemetry prototype with accessible visualization.

/ 03 Robotics

Self-Balancing Robot

A two-wheeled robot using MPU6050 sensor feedback and tuned PID loops to stay upright, earning a Government of Gujarat innovation grant worth ₹50,000.

STM32 PID Control MPU6050 Arduino
View build notes +

This project focused on control stability, sensor feedback, and turning theory into a physical balancing system.

Problem

Balancing a dynamic physical system demands precise and responsive control loops.

Approach

Used MPU6050 motion sensing and tuned PID logic on embedded hardware.

Outcome

Earned a state innovation grant and strengthened practical control-systems intuition.

/ 04 Computer Vision

Smart Door Lock with Facial Recognition

An access-control system using OpenCV LBPH recognition with RFID fallback, combining convenience with redundancy for safer real-world use.

OpenCV LBPH Python RFID
View build notes +

Built as a practical access-control concept where computer vision and fallback authentication worked together.

Problem

Needed safer, more flexible access than single-method authentication.

Approach

Combined LBPH face recognition with RFID fallback for redundancy.

Outcome

Produced a stronger real-world concept than vision-only authentication alone.

Availability

Open to meaningful conversations, not outside engagements.

If you want to discuss connected products, telemetry architecture, embedded systems, or technical presentation, I am always glad to connect and exchange ideas.

System Story

How a connected system moves from signal to useful action.

The most interesting part of IoT work is not one device or one dashboard. It is the chain between them, and whether every layer stays understandable when the system leaves the lab.

Guided flow
Industrial telemetry flow

Signal captured at the machine layer.

The system begins with raw field data: imperfect, noisy, and often coming from equipment that was never designed to be visible remotely.

  • Physical sensors and machine outputs become structured signals.
  • Interfaces like RS485 or UART provide the first bridge into software.
  • The job here is reliability before elegance.
Decision Log

Some of the choices I tend to make, and why.

I like systems that stay legible. That usually means choosing tools and flows that fit field reality instead of chasing whatever looks clever in isolation.

MQTT over heavier messaging

Because many device workflows benefit more from lightweight, dependable transport than from abstraction overhead.

Why this matters
ESP32 for practical edge builds

Because it balances capability, ecosystem familiarity, and real-world prototyping speed extremely well.

Why this matters
Fallback paths in security flows

Because systems used by real people should not fail completely when one layer becomes unreliable.

Why this matters
Dashboards that summarize, not overwhelm

Because visibility is only useful when operators can understand what changed and what deserves attention.

Why this matters
Build Philosophy

The principles I return to when building technical systems.

What makes a system feel mature is often not the stack itself, but the discipline behind how it is structured, explained, and handed over.

Three principles
  • Reliable before clever

    Field systems should survive noise, interruptions, and imperfect environments before they try to impress anyone.

  • Readable systems scale better

    When telemetry, cloud flows, and interfaces are understandable, teams can operate them with much more confidence.

  • The interface is part of the engineering

    A product is not “done” when the data exists. It is done when the right person can actually use what the system is saying.

What I enjoy solving

Problem spaces that keep pulling me back.

  • Messy telemetry that needs structure and meaning.
  • Legacy equipment that deserves better visibility.
  • Edge-to-cloud systems that must stay calm under real conditions.
  • Technical products that need more polish, not more noise.
Lab Notes
Currently learning Rust for embedded systems

I am exploring memory-safe firmware patterns and what they change about long-term confidence in low-level systems work.

Journey

A professional timeline shaped by systems work and hands-on building.

Each role added a different lens on the same question: how do you make devices, protocols, and cloud services behave like one coherent product?
