1) Firmware development on TI-C2000 for Solar Based VFD's in water pumping applications, covering 3 to 20 HP ratings. 2) HMI firmware development using Renesas RL78. 3) Good understanding of power electronics device control using PWM's. 4) Worked completely in Induction Motor Control, Digital Signal Processing, Power electronics, various MPPT algorithms, Metering, HMIs, EEPROM, Modbus, I2C, UART protocols. 5) Improved MPPT efficiency to 98% using an enhanced Perturb & Observe algorithm, boosting water outpu

1) Developed RCBO, RCCB, Permanent Magnet Relays, Isolators compliant with IEC 60947/61009 standards. 2) Improved Isolators thermal performance (IEC 60947-3) by achieving a 7°C reduction in temperature rise. 3) Identified 30+ failure cases in DFMEA and resolved 2 failures with RPN>144. 4) Reduced short-circuit let-through energy through contact design optimization. 5) Hands on experience using Softwares like Creo parametric, Minitab & hardware like Keysight temperature logger, mA clampmeters.

1) Gained hands-on experience in firmware and IoT development through projects using STM32 and ESP32. 2) Mentored a 10+ member junior team on projects like home automation, hydroponics, and helium miner. 3) Attended a month-long embedded driver development workshop on Raspberry Pi Pico (Cortex M0+ microcontroller).

1) Developed a web and joystick-controlled telepresence bot, delivering real-time visual data from remote locations. 2) Worked with development of control algorithm for BLDC motors using STM32F4103. 3) Usage of MQTT to publish & receive data from a slave controller to Raspberry PI, using AWS. 4) Explored I2C and UART communication protocols for data transmission between a master and a slave controller.

1) Organized a National level workshop on Electric vehicles, with 200+ participants and generating a revenue of ₹63,000(≈ €600) 2) Hosted a department-level micro hackathon with 60+ teams, boosting participants' confidence in hackathons. 3) Facilitated workshops on PCB designing, 3D printing, and line follower competitions to upskill students.
