Born and raised in the beautiful city of Pune. Being introduced to programming from as early as grade 8, I knew I wanted to make a career out of coding.
I'm a PhD student at the University of Georgia, Athens. I'm also working as a graduate research assistant (part-time) at the HeRo lab at UGA. My research focus is on multi-robot systems, specifically in the areas of swarm robotics, distributed algorithms, and robot coordination.
I participated in Team Robotics SKNCOE (TRSKNCOE) during my college programme, where I first learned about the field of embedded systems. I created mini-projects with Arduino to perform a variety of functions, like controlling an LED through Bluetooth, classifying ping pong balls according to colour, storing and navigating a maze using echo sensors, and more. In addition, I have worked on projects involving augmented reality, unity game development, and image processing.
Collaborating with Dr. Ramviyas Parasuraman at the Heterogeneous Robotics (HeRo) lab, my research focuses on multi-robot systems, particularly multi-robot localization. Ongoing research emphasizes localization in sparsely connected networks and the reinforcement and restoration of connectivity in robot networks.

At a start-up company named Shalaka Connected Devices, I worked as an embedded systems engineer. To code, I used Python and C. I designed APIs and tested them as well as integrate different hardware and software systems. I had been working as an intern at SCD from December through May when it eventually became a full-time position.
July 2017 - July 2021
I attended Smt. Kashibai Navale College of Engineering to complete my undergraduate studies in computer science. They offered an interesting programme. In addition, I enrolled in the robotics club (TRSKNCOE), where I worked on various mini-projects.
Back in college, I was part of the robotics club. We built robots and tested our skills at various collegiate competitions. 'Techfest', held at IIT Bombay was one such competition. At the 'International Robotics Challenge' event, the robots were tasked with solving a maze. The maze was a walled maze with an open...
