About me

I am an Electronics DIY hobbyist who likes to play around with circuits and design stuff to create something which does my work so I can be lazy all day without feeling guilty :)

I completed my B.Tech in the field of Electronics and Communication from USICT, GGS IP University, Delhi (India) in 2017. I like building (hardware) interfaces which bridge gaps between computing resources and real world interaction from our daily lives in a way that user needs minimal effort to adapt to it. (Some of the work which inspired me is listed in subsequent section. Have a look, they are awesome!)

This is me

Besides that, I enjoy Puzzles, Riddles, Mysteries, Food and Long walks! Got around a dozen of rubics cube with a best of 26 seconds on 3*3*3 and great scope of improvement. Not an avid reader but Robert Langdon is no book - It's an experience, A rolloer coaster!

This is me

During my undergraduation, I tried my hands on different domains including Management, Graphic designing, Web designing, Embedded systems and Wireless networks. It was in my final year that I got introduced to the field of Human-Computer Interaction. Since then I've been exploring this field. Infact most of my projects are based on Interaction design and Internet-of-Things.

Currently I'm working at MediaTek and having my share of experience of the corporate world.

Achievement in Mediatek
