Hi, I'm Kevin
A budding embedded engineer
About Me
Hello! I am working as Systems Engineer at Analog Devices. I'm having a Master of Science degree from University of Colorado Boulder and bachelor degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from JSS Science and Technology University, Mysore. I love to design hardware and write firmware on it.
I live by the motto “Failure is not an option” and am excited about what next there is to learn and experience.
I am learning a lot and doing assignments and projects. Watch my latest project videos below,
Watch video of Guitar Tuner project (Involving DSP, Hardware Design, Firmware Design ,ARM Microcontroller, etc) here.
Watch video of Digital Angle Gauge project here.
I love doing,
C/C++ Programming
Embedded System Design
Board Bring-up for Embedded Systems
PCB Designing (2 / 4 Layer) -Altium
Communication/ RF Circuits
FreeRTOS and POSIX
Python programming and Visualizations

Projects
Here are some of the major projects that i have worked on during my engineering and pre-university courses.
Pilot Assistant For Circular Runway Operations
Circular runway is an innovative approach to reduce airport area and combat the problems caused by straight runways.
Speaker and Gender recognition system using speech processing.
A program that will recognise the speaker and the gender of speaker. Built using correlation and feature extraction of speech signals.
Details
MD-5 Hashing Algorithm in C++
Developed a MD-5 hashing algorithm implementation in C++.
Cansat (Satellite Inside a Can)
Developed a MD-5 hashing algorithm implementation in C++.
Exhaled Breath Diabetes monitoring
A classifier developed using machine learning algorithm to classify cepstral data of different speakers. Observed good accuracy over non-linear data.
I am familiar with the following project tools,
Keysight ADS
Siemens Hyperlnx
Ansys HFSS
Code Composer Studio
MCU Xpresso
SEGGER SystemView
MATLAB / Simulink
Keil
Altium
Git, Github
Dive a little deeper.
If you have something for me to work on, I am always eager to listen and communicate.
