I’m a curious researcher with a strong background in electrical engineering who has worked on a wide variety of projects across domains like Brain wave sensing, opto-electronic gas sensor design, fetal health monitoring, Robotics, self choreographed musical fountain, etc.

Working in academia and in collaboration with the industry has enhanced my skills to quickly adapt to different condition while delivering high quality results.

I grew up in a Mangalore, a town in south India and now live in New York while pursuing my PhD. My entrepreneurial nature lead me to explore the world beyond academia since the early days in college; eventually co-founding D&D Smart Labs, a tech start-up in Mangalore.

Currently seeking opportunities to work with interesting people and companies in areas such as sensors, analog/digital design, embedded systems, Deep learning, Computer vision, opto-electronic systems, signal processing or any other closely related area.
