3+ years taking sensor assemblies, flex PCBs, and electro-mechanical prototypes from early concept through to validated hardware. Experienced across the full hardware loop from bench diagnostics with oscilloscopes and logic analysers through to system-level integration and validation.
I'm a Mechatronics & Robotics Engineer based in Bristol, UK. My background spans regulated medical devices under ISO 13485 and fast-paced R&D, with deep hands-on work in fault investigation, embedded systems, miniature sensors, PCB design and assembly.
At Earswitch, I design and prototype miniaturised CMOS-based optical sensor modules, evaluate image sensors, and investigate failures across sensor, flex-PCB, and assembly levels. Previously, I've designed PCB layouts for real-time sensing systems, built evaluation rigs and testing jigs.
I hold an MSc in Robotics & Autonomous Systems from the University of Bath (Global Leaders Scholarship) and a BEng in Mechatronics from Anna University, India.
Specialised in autonomous navigation, perception, and embedded systems. Coursework covered ROS, computer vision, motion planning, and machine learning for robotics.
🏆 Global Leaders ScholarshipFoundations in mechanical design, electronics, control systems, and embedded programming. Led the electronics team for the Solar EV national competition.
🏆 Best Innovation Award — National Solar EV
Full electro-mechanical design of a 3-axis BLDC-motor gimbal integrated with an all-terrain rocker-bogie platform. Designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested the complete system. Published in an academic journal.
Designed and implemented an autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance system on a ROSbot 2.0 platform with mecanum wheels. Utilised LiDAR, IR sensors, and image processing in ROS/Gazebo to enable holonomic movement through uncertain environments. Tuned the perception pipeline for reliable traversal and demonstrated multi-directional manoeuvrability in simulation and on hardware.
Implemented autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance using LiDAR, ToF/IR sensors, and image processing in ROS/Gazebo. Also worked on multi-robot simulation with Niryo arms and mobile platforms in CoppeliaSim.
Designed traction and low-power voltage systems, routed the wiring harness, and tested with BLDC motor controllers and high-voltage battery packs. Led the electronics team from design through to integration. Won Best Innovation Award in a national competition.
Designed a custom PCB in Altium with power converters, optocouplers, and solid-state relays. Soldered all components by hand and programmed a Wi-Fi microcontroller for control via a mobile/PC client app.
