Embedded Systems Engineer | DRDO Intern | PhD Aspirant (Spring 2027)
"Building resilient embedded systems for mission‑critical applications."
I’m an Embedded Systems engineer with a strong foundation in ECE and a passion for designing reliable, real-time, and hardware-driven embedded solutions. I graduated Rank 1 in my M.E. Embedded Systems program and completed a 6‑month FPGA research internship at DRDO–RCI, where I worked on fault‑tolerant communication systems for defense applications.
I love working at the intersection of embedded hardware, firmware, communication protocols, and IoT, and I enjoy building systems that behave predictably under constraints.
Interests: Embedded Systems, FPGA Design, Real-Time Communication, Hardware–Software Co‑Design, IoT for Industrial & Mission-Critical Applications.

Project: USB → RS‑422 FPGA-Based Communication System
- Designed communication architecture on Xilinx Kintex‑7 (Vivado 2020.2).
- Integrated Cypress FX2LP USB controller with FPGA logic.
- Implemented dual‑clock FIFO for safe clock-domain crossing.
- Built UART @115200 baud with 32‑bit XOR checksum.
- Performed error injection + stress tests (12‑byte & 100‑byte).
- Results:
- ✔ 100% data integrity
- ✔ 0 bit errors
- ✔ ~83 Kbps throughput
- ✔ Latency: 1.1 ms (12B), 9.2 ms (100B)
- ✔ FPGA Utilization: 14% LUTs, 11% FFs
- Designed automatic redundancy switching (Ch‑1 → Ch‑2) with zero data loss.
