Engineer in Bengaluru. At IISc I make machine learning run on chips with a few kilobytes of memory. At IXE Tronics, which I co-founded, we built a moisture meter that cashew processors use every day. And I teach, because explaining something is how I find out whether I actually understand it.
What this site is
My public notebook. I learn by building and explaining, and everything that produces lives here.
The blog is where I write long-form series, read like chapters. I like to understand things from first principles, and that's how the series are built. Courses contains the slides from the courses I teach. Projects is the maker log of embedded systems and TinyML experiments, including the ones that failed. Papers is where I take notes on what I'm reading. And Culti7 is the one finished thing here: a moisture meter for cashew processors, in the field since 2021.
Most of it is in progress. I fix things as I learn.
Fair warning: I use AI to help write and structure what's here. The ideas, the projects and the learning are mine; the words often get a pass through an LLM first.
