In my childhood, my father (an engineer himself) used to bring me all different kinds of building block toy kits and take me to places like river dam, an electricity generation plant and even a copper mine! The toys - almost all come with a manual inside, having a how-to on models you can make with the kit. Following the manual to build something never used to be the first thought. Instead, I used to give my imagination full freedom with the blocks and used to build something which'd even surprise the today's me.
All that childhood with such toys, TV shows on Nat Geo and Discovery and the exposure I got because of my parents grew my interest towards engineering and science rapidly enough that at a moment, I had planned everything about who I want to be and what I want to do. I was still a child. :P
When I was in 7th standard, my parents got me a home tutor. His name is Imroz Noor and I call him Imroz sir. Of the 1hr/day he was at my home teaching, half of the time was spent in discussing about science, technology and stuff which was totally unrelated to my academics. Imroz sir first told me about IITs in India. That they're the most prestigious institutes in the country. And my reply to him was - Okay! I'll be studying in an IIT then! And so my journey to IIT began. On June 11, 2017, when I saw my result. I can say that it was the day when a dream, one of the best teachers of my had showed me came to life. Currently, I'm a 3rd year Electrical Engineering undergraduate at IIT Mandi.
I am very much interested in the fields of A.I. and robotics and aspire to be a researcher in the same. Read more about me below..

Following are some of the my skills. Apart from these, I know OpenCV, scikit-learn & MATLAB.
My communication skills include knowing English, Hindi and elementary level German.
School first introduced me to the LOGO programming language, the one where you make a turtle figure move with the help of programmed instructions. Gradually I got to know about languages like C and C++ and got interested in programming. I like software development and have tried my hands on mobile development with React Native. I occasionally do competitive programming as well! Checkout my codechef and codeforces profile to know more.
Because of this interest in programming, getting introduced to Artificial Intelligence, be it via the Internet, books or movies, its sub-domains - Machine learning and Deep learning quickly caught my interest. Currently I'm taking Andrew Ng's courses on the same.

A browser extension I'm currently working on. Built using Javascript while learning Javascript DOM. Helps in keeping important links and notes as a browser extension.
Following are the robotics and electronics projects I've done till now.
- Selfie - The self
balancing robot
Check it out here: selfie_report.pdf
A group project I did with my peers in Aavishkar 2018, an academic-technical event held as a part of the IC161P-Applied Electronics Practicum course. It's a two wheeled self balancing robot, built on Raspberry Pi platform (python). Employs - MPU6050 6-axis gyroscopic sensor, DC motors and an L298N motor driver, all placed in a custom built hard board chassis.
Apart from the technical interests, I like music, gaming, travelling and photography as well. I learned to play tabla in my school days and am 2 years short of a Diploma in the same. I recently started playing counter-strike global offensive (find me on steam - ancientfuture_) and have travelled the better part of the country, courtesy of my father.
Know me better or the music I like by connecting with me. Following are the methods...
I love to talk! Connect with me via any of the following ways. :)
