I am a robotics enthusiast. My journey in the field of robotics began when I got an opportunity to attend a lecture on basic robotics in high school. Ever since then, I have been hooked to this field and have constantly dreamed about becoming a roboticist.

In order to chase my dreams, I decided to pursue my bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) in south Indian town of Vellore. During my first year, I got introduced to the world of computer programming and got the opportunity to design my very first mobile robot, a simple line follower that by making use of Infrared sensors, managed to follow a black line. After this beginners experience, I kept on working on improving my knowledge base and skill set and joined the student chapter of Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), where I received suitable guidance from my seniors . In my second year, I got introduced to the world of Machine Learning and Deep Learning and began working on various cool projects in the field. I also worked on my next robotics project in the form of a mobile manipulator. Having gained a good amount of knowledge and experience in the fields of robotics and machine learning through various elective courses, I started delivering workshops on these topics to fellow university students. As a result of my progress, I was appointed the Technical Head of the IET in my third year. As my first act of being the Technical Head, I founded the research and projects team of the chapter named 'Team Fourth Dimension'. This team was created with an aim to provide a platform to the fellow members of the chapter to collaborate on various technical projects in different fields of engineering. With these added responsibilities, I began to mentor my juniors and gave them suitable guidance for their various projects. In the final year, as the part of my bachelor thesis, under the guidance of Dr. Mathew M. Noel, I worked with Deep Learning and designed a 3D convolution neural network that could detect hand gestures.

Having completed my undergraduate studies, it was time to take the biggest decision of my life. The decision to travel abroad for the very first time, thousands of kilometers away from home all the way to the Netherlands, to pursue a master's degree in the areas of my interest and further enhance my knowledge. I got the opportunity to pursue my graduate studies from one of the top most engineering schools in the world, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
