I am a robotics and IoT enthusiast with more than 3 years of hands-on experience in embedded systems, electronics, and innovation projects. I currently serve as an ATL (Atal Tinkering Lab) Coordinator at my school, where I guide and mentor students in robotics, electronics, and technology-based innovation. I also developed and lead a small student innovation group where our team works together to build projects, explore new ideas, and solve real-world problems using technology. I have designed and developed multiple hardware and IoT projects including an Autonomous Car, Smart Plant Care & Automated Farming System, Drone Controller RC Car, Safety Circuit Breaker System, Cosmo Wave Solar Reflector, and a Mini CPU concept model. I also design 3D models and enclosures for my projects using tools like Onshape and Blender. One of my major works is an AI-based smart farming system that collects real-time farm data using sensors such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light sensors. The system analyzes environmental conditions and suggests the best crops, plants, and fertilizers suitable for the farm. I also developed a custom server and web dashboard to display live farm data for monitoring and analysis. I have strong programming skills in Arduino (C/C++) and Python and regularly work on sensor interfacing, automation systems, and IoT-based solutions. My achievements include more than 12 technical certifications, two published papers including a general research paper supported by Science Centre Raipur, certificates from Kalinga University and DAVARA University, and participation in innovation programs and BUILDATHON events. I have also received a state-level certification by CEO Pi Jam Foundation Shoaib Hafiz Dar and Education Specialist Chhaya Kanwar in collaboration with UNICEF Chhattisgarh. I am passionate about innovation, robotics, and education, and I also run a YouTube channel “Hack & Build” where I plan to share free tutorials and courses on Arduino
