I've built a solar-powered autonomous waste-sorting robot using Raspberry Pi 5, ESP32, cameras, motors, ultrasonic sensors, and a battery system. I developed Python and Arduino IDE software for navigation, obstacle avoidance, robotic arm control, and Raspberry Pi–ESP32 communication.

For the project, I implemented a YOLOv8-based real-time waste detection and sorting system and integrated the hardware and software into a functional prototype supporting autonomous and IoT-based manual operation.

During my internship at POWERGRID Corporation of India Ltd., I gained hands-on exposure to 2000 MW HVDC VSC and 400 kV HVAC station operations. I learned about substation layouts, control systems, protection mechanisms, and high-voltage equipment maintenance and monitoring.

As a Brake & Electrical Specialist for SAE SUPRA 2024, I contributed to the design, calibration, and optimization of braking and electrical systems for a student-built race car. Our team achieved 8th All-India Rank among competing university teams.
