Pranav Bansal

I’m a Software Engineer at the Center for Intelligent Product Development (CiPD), IIIT-Delhi, where I build real-time bare-metal firmware in C for STM32, ESP32, and Arduino-class systems, and develop interactive hardware projects with web-controlled interfaces. I also turn complex workflows into reliable software, from GPIO/UART/SPI/I2C interrupt-driven designs to OTA configuration over Wi‑Fi.

Previously, as a Software Engineer/Research Engineer at IIIT-D, I helped ship RAHI, an AI-driven roadway monitoring system for the Ministry of Rural Development using React, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and a CBAM-enhanced ResNet for automated road condition classification. I’ve also collaborated on wildlife surveillance (YOLO‑v8 fine-tuning plus CLIP/DinoV2 semantic search) to cut analysis time by 90%, and built production-style pipelines like OpenCV-based defect detection with 0.2–0.3 mm localization and an 80% reduction in manual inspection. I bring a practical AI-and-systems mindset—shipping measurable outcomes with solid engineering practices.
