Mechatronics & Automation Engineering student at IIIT Bhagalpur, focused on Robotics Software Engineering — ROS2, C++, and embedded systems. Preparing for GATE CS, aiming for an M.Tech in Robotics / UAV / Cyber-Physical Systems at IIT or IISc.
robotics— A ROS2 + C++ workspace built withcolcon. Contains standalone C++ implementations of robotics algorithms and hardware interfacing, plus ROS2 packages (nodes, launch files, configs) for robot control and perception. Includes rosbag-based data recording work. 150 commits of continuous, hands-on ROS2 practice.- Comfortable with core ROS2 concepts: publishers/subscribers, topics, services, clients & servers.
- Hands-on experience with Arduino-based embedded/electronics projects — currently working toward UART-based ROS2 ↔ microcontroller bridges using that background.
Currently building: a documented ROS2 + Gazebo + Nav2 autonomous navigation portfolio — working systematically through SLAM, sensor fusion, and real hardware integration, aiming for genuinely demoable robotics projects rather than tutorial clones.
- Fundwarden — my CS50 final project. An envelope-budgeting web app: users allocate monthly income into custom spending categories, enforced by a "Hard Ceiling" system that prevents over-allocation. Includes full auth (login/register), deployed on Render.
- Contributed to multiple web development projects through my college tech club.
- CS50x — Harvard's Introduction to Computer Science. Completed all ten problem sets plus the final project (Fundwarden).
