I am a final year CSE student from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering. I was one of the two students who did Google Summer of Code with Arduino, and my project was to design a transcompiler (a source to source compiler) that can translate a subset of C/C++ to Python automatically.

Worked with the Linux Foundation for the ELISA project (Enabling Linux In Safety Applications) with Intel Mobileye Israel, on a project to enable code coverage for the GNU C Library (GLiBC). Fixed a 7 year old bug that prevented code coverage from working properly and presented my work at the #6 ELISA conference.

Currently working with the Free Software Foundation/The GNU project on automating and updating system and application software on Trisquel GNU/Linux.

Most of my past work is related to IoT and hardware, I make things. Some of my achievements include:

1.) 1st place in Smart India Hackathon, Hardware edition 2019. I built a smart workout sleeve that can track unconventional exercises. I used raspberry Pi with MPU9250, HMM and Decision tree algorithms to do the tracking and repetition counting.

2.) Zonal Round winner, Dassault Systemes AAKRUTI product design competition, where my teammate and I made a functional prosthetic arm. We used Myoelectric sensors with a microcontroller, and 3D printing to build the arm.

3.) Jury's choice award at Rakuten Rakathon, built a rudimentary motion capture system with sensors embedded into a glove and LabVIEW for the UI.

4.) 2nd runner up in Hackman Hackathon, ISE Dept, DSCE. Built a flight data recorder system for drones. with altitude, speed, orientation and GPS tracking.

5.) Was one of the 10 people in the world to intern with Element14 for teaching the BBC:micro Bit to school kids. Won the grand prize for top 10 among the same.

6.) One of the 20 people in the world selected to roadtest the raspberry pi 4 B. Currently testing out the NXP Xpresso board.

7.) Finished in the top 10 in Microsoft Hashcode.

8.) I've gotten accepted to four Devfolio Hackathons till now: InOut 6.0, Hackverse NITK, HackByTheBeach and InOut 7.0. ended up not building anything at InOut 7.0 because I didn't like the new format.

InOut holds a special place in my heart because its the best a hackathon has to offer. I have been a part of the Devfolio community for over a year now :)
