Fusing Electronics and Control for Stellar Innovation

Building reliable embedded software for future connectivity at Qualcomm

I graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani with a Master's degree in Embedded Systems. I currently work as a modem software engineer, building reliable connectivity software for next-generation wireless systems. My work brings together electronics, firmware, connectivity, and control systems to solve practical engineering problems.

I now bring 3+ years of experience building low-level embedded firmware for 5G/LTE data-path drivers, automotive telematics, and IoT edge devices. My work spans high-throughput C and Assembly software, Linux kernel interfaces, bare-metal peripherals, RTOS threads, memory optimization, and hardware-software debugging.

Projects

3DOF TVC Simulation

This MATLAB simulation project focuses on a three-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) control system for rocket takeoff and landing. The simulation uses thrust vector control (TVC) to control the rocket's pitch angle and flight path angle.

Model VayuVeer

A flight computer that controls the rocket thrust vector and logs data to flash memory for a 150 g rocket. Still in the development phase.

TVC Trajectory Simulation

This MATLAB project simulates the trajectory of a model rocket equipped with thrust vector control. The simulation showcases the dynamics and control mechanisms involved in guiding the rocket during flight. The project is currently in progress, with a basic trajectory simulation already implemented using MATLAB and Simulink.

HMI Mini Robot

Developed a web-based human-machine interface robot using an ESP32 microcontroller and an L293 motor driver.

Sequence Memory Game

Created an LED-based memory game using Arduino.

Object Tracking based on Color

Developed an AI-based model to track an object based on its color using OpenCV.

High-Performance Signal Jammer

Designed an 850 MHz signal jammer circuit using Altium Designer.
