Hardware & Embedded Systems Engineer.

B.Tech ECE Student at Joginpally B R Engineering College, Hyderabad. Former Apprentice at Medha Servo Drives (NAC Certified). Focused on FPGA architecture, embedded firmware, high-voltage power electronics, and industrial IoT automation.

Selected Engineering Work

Peer-reviewed hardware prototypes, RTL syntheses, and real-time embedded systems.

Secure Dual-Hardware Locking System

An air-gapped physical firewall architecture that physically decouples wireless RF communication from lock actuation logic. A Sipeed Tang Nano 20K FPGA acts as an immutable Hardware Root of Trust executing a cycle-accurate 16-bit Galois LFSR (polynomial x^16 + x^14 + x^13 + x^11 + 1) generating 65,535 non-repeating dynamic OTP codes rotated every 60 seconds. Wireless transmission is handled by an ESP32 running router-less ESP-NOW connected to the FPGA via a strictly unidirectional Simplex Optical UART link, guaranteeing 100% immunity to remote buffer overflows and replay attacks.

Smart Bidirectional Double-Pole SiC Solid-State Circuit Breaker (SSCB)

A double-pole AC solid-state breaker replacing electromechanical inertia and contact arcing with 4× Wolfspeed C3M0075120K (1200V, 75mΩ) Silicon Carbide MOSFETs in common-source back-to-back pairs. Achieves an autonomous sub-microsecond trip path (<515–650 ns) via an STM32G431KB (ARM Cortex-M4F @ 170MHz) routing dual internal Analog Watchdogs (AWD1/AWD2) directly to Advanced Control Timer TIM1_BKIN break circuitry, bypassing software interrupt latency. Integrates coordinated MOV energy absorption (150 J), zero-crossing TRIAC dynamic PFC correction, and opto-isolated telemetry streaming True-RMS power over MQTT via an ESP32 FreeRTOS co-processor.

About Me

I am an Electronics and Communication Engineering student at Joginpally B R Engineering College with a strong foundation in industrial electronics and embedded systems.

What sets me apart is my one-year industrial apprenticeship at Medha Servo Drives, where I earned my National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC). This experience gave me hands-on expertise in electronics production, assembly, and equipment calibration that most students don't have.

Recently, I completed a virtual internship as an Embedded System Engineer at Microchip, where I sharpened my skills in C, C++, and PIC microcontrollers using MPLAB X IDE. I am passionate about IoT and automation, as demonstrated by my IEEE-presented projects like the "Earthquake Monitor" and my "Car Safety System."

I am a member of IEEE and IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CAS). I am always looking to connect with professionals in the Embedded Systems, IoT, and Electronics Design space!

Location Hyderabad, India
