Software Engineer
Battery management software for electric commercial vehicles, centred on predicting thermal runaway before it happens.
- Built a thermal-runaway prediction algorithm for deployment on the battery management system.
- Worked against real pack telemetry, where a false negative is a fire and a false positive is a stranded truck.
- Shipped firmware into a safety-critical system with the review discipline that implies.
VIIT Robotics Club
Member, then lead
Four years of competition robotics, starting with a motor driver that kept failing and ending at Robocon.
- Designed and rebuilt a MOSFET motor driver until it survived a full match.
- Competed at Robocon 2016, where the team beat IIT Delhi.
- Learned more from the failures on the bench than from anything in a lecture hall.
Technical arsenal
- Python, C, C++, JavaScript, MATLAB
- Linux, FreeRTOS, Microcontrollers, Embedded firmware
- TensorFlow, Signal processing, Time-series prediction
- Readable documentation, Code review, Instrumentation
