Software engineer turned roboticist.
I build robots, and the software that keeps them reliable: manipulation, perception and motion planning, backed by three years of shipping production test software.

It does the same right thing on the thousandth run as on the first. That kind of boring is hard to build. It takes software that is tested, measured and readable, the discipline I learned shipping test and validation tools for semiconductor hardware. I'm bringing that discipline to robots, so the industries that depend on them can trust them.
Robotics, perception and software engineering are separate skills. A working robot needs all three pointing from the same origin.

Autonomous vision-guided chess-playing robot
An arm that sees the board, picks a move and plays it.
A Franka Panda with an RGB-D camera on its wrist finds every piece on the board, takes its move by voice or text or from Stockfish, and plays it with MoveIt. Perception, planning and control run as one ROS pipeline.
My role Led the team of three, designed the whole system and wrote the work plan. Fully developed the robot control module (motion planning, pick and place), set up and performed the hand-eye calibration, and added the Stockfish AI mode and speech input.

Camera-based hand tracking in ROS 2 and MuJoCo
Move your hands. Two robot arms move with you.
A camera tracks both hands at 30 Hz. Each hand becomes a target for one Panda arm, and both arms follow in a MuJoCo simulation driven through ROS 2.
My role Led the team of three, designed the whole system and wrote the work plan. Fully developed the teleoperation mapping and motion planning modules: inverse kinematics with DLS, trajectory planning and workspace constraints.

Where I build things alone, to understand them properly.
Small, complete experiments on a simulated Franka Panda in MuJoCo. Each one is a full, runnable pipeline in Python.

A Panda learns to pick up a coloured cube, carry it over a wall and drop it in a bin. A scripted expert produces 200 demonstrations; a small neural network learns to imitate them and is then tested closed-loop, including on cube colours it has never seen. Behaviour cloning with action chunking and temporal ensembling, acting through damped least-squares IK.

Torque control of a Panda at 500 Hz, in joint space and in Cartesian space, with gravity compensation. The forward kinematics and Jacobian are my own, built from the DH parameters. Smooth quintic trajectories give the controller a reference it can follow, and each run is scored on tracking error, overshoot and settling time.

Software that other engineers' measurements depend on.
From intern to senior project engineer on an automated test and validation framework for semiconductor hardware, written in Python and C#.
Python, C#, microservices, test and measurement instruments
Three stages, each one built on the last.
2018 to 2022
B.E. Electronics and Communication Engineering, St. Joseph's College of Engineering, Chennai
I started with electronics: how signals move and how systems talk to each other. I graduated in May 2022 with a CGPA of 9.03/10, a 1.7 on the German scale.
2022 to 2025
Soliton Technologies, Coimbatore
I joined as an intern in January 2022, became a project engineer that June and a senior project engineer in May 2024. Three years of software for semiconductor test and validation: framework features, Python microservices for test and measurement hardware, and three C# prototypes led from concept to production. It taught me what it takes for software to be trusted.
Since October 2025
M.Sc. Electrical Engineering (Smart Systems), University of Stuttgart
I moved to Germany to work on machines that move. Since then: ROS and ROS 2, computer vision, motion planning, simulation in MuJoCo, human-robot interaction, and two robots I'm proud of.
From April 2027
Open to an internship
I learn by building. I'd like the next thing I build to be with a team that puts robots to work in industry. I'm especially interested in mobile robotics and intelligent robot systems.
Get in touchAt Soliton I put as much care into how the team wrote software as into what I wrote myself.
Looking for a robotics intern from April 2027, building something that moves, or stuck on a planning problem? I'd like to hear about it.
