About Me

Hello! I'm Atharva, a 19-year-old university student from Mumbai, India, currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Textile Technology at Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute. As someone who loves talking with computers and making them do magic, my primary field of work revolves around Robotics and the intersection of AI and the physical world.

What Drives Me

I'm driven by a deep fascination with technology, particularly in the domains of Robotics, AI, and Engineering. I'm constantly motivated to explore new frontiers, push boundaries, and create innovative solutions that can make a meaningful impact. My curiosity and love for learning fuel my desire to continuously expand my knowledge and skills.

Things I'm Good At

Throughout my academic and personal projects, I've honed my skills in various areas, including:

• Computer Vision and Image Processing: I've built projects like a self-balancing and line-following robot using an ESP32 microcontroller and a custom PCB, and an OpenCV user interface and gesture following system.
• Machine Learning and Deep Learning: I've worked on projects such as an AI-powered travel planning assistant and an AI music generator, leveraging techniques like natural language processing and generative adversarial networks (GANs).
• Web Development: I've contributed to the development and maintenance of websites like Technovanza.org and Vastravjti.org, utilizing technologies like React.js, Node.js, and MongoDB.
• Systems Programming: I have experience in low-level programming and systems programming, enabling me to work on projects like a custom mechanical keyboard with tailored firmware and key mappings.

Interesting Projects

Some of the interesting projects I've built include:

• A self-balancing and line-following robot: This robot, powered by an ESP32 microcontroller and a custom PCB, showcases my skills in embedded systems, control algorithms, and sensor fusion techniques.
• Travel Planner AI Assistant: An AI-powered travel planning assistant that generates personalized itineraries based on user preferences, utilizing natural language processing and machine learning algorithms.
• AI Music Generator: A system that generates original musical compositions in various genres and styles, leveraging deep learning techniques like generative adversarial networks (GANs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs).
• Custom Mechanical Keyboard: A custom-designed mechanical keyboard tailored to my preferences, combining 3D printing, PCB design, and firmware programming skills.

What's Next?

I'm always excited to take on new challenges and collaborate on exciting projects.
