Have been a Münchener for over 4 years now. Absolutely the village in the city.
Me at Poing (extreme right, in blue)
Born in 1989, into a typical educated subarban household in Andheri,Mumbai. Had a lovely childhood full of people, friends and adventures. Witnessed the turn of the century through a ten year olds eyes. Soaked in the hope and despair served up by the Indian metropolis, in equal measure.
Completed a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics from Pune University, building a strong foundation in core electronics and embedded systems. The curriculum included key subjects such as analog and digital electronics, microprocessors, control systems, and communication engineering. Strong interest in embedded systems was developed through extensive laboratory work and academic projects.
Coursework provided practical experience with microcontrollers, circuit design, and signal analysis. Hands-on exposure included hardware design, debugging of electronic circuits, and development of embedded C firmware. Academic projects enabled application of theoretical concepts to real-world engineering problems, strengthening analytical and problem-solving skills.
Participation in team-based assignments contributed to improved collaboration, communication, and project coordination abilities. Use of simulation tools and laboratory instrumentation enhanced understanding of system-level design and validation. Emphasis was placed on developing a balanced skill set across both hardware and software domains.
This academic experience established a solid technical foundation and prepared for professional roles in embedded systems and electronics engineering.
Completed a Master’s degree in Embedded Systems Engineering from University of Duisburg-Essen, with a strong focus on advanced embedded architectures and real-time systems. The program covered key areas such as real-time operating systems, embedded software design, digital communication, and system-on-chip (SoC) architectures.
Coursework emphasized both theoretical foundations and practical implementation, including low-level programming, hardware-software co-design, and performance optimization. Extensive hands-on experience was gained through laboratory work involving microcontrollers, embedded Linux systems, and peripheral interfacing.
Projects involved the design and development of complex embedded applications, including real-time control systems and communication interfaces. Strong emphasis was placed on writing efficient, reliable, and maintainable embedded software in C/C++.
Collaboration in international and multidisciplinary teams enhanced communication skills and exposure to diverse engineering approaches. Use of modern development tools, debugging techniques, and version control systems strengthened professional engineering practices.
The program provided a deep understanding of system-level design, preparing for advanced roles in embedded software development and hardware integration across industrial and consumer applications.
I love to read. During summer near the lake. During winter by the snow. During monsoon by the rain. I love to read. Despite best efforts from my loved ones, I find my self reading either fantasy or history. Have read every single word written by Orwell, Tolkien, Shirer, Beevor and Puzo. Animal Farm remains my favorite book for its slow burn and mental gym effects.
As a more passive source of entertainment, I love to devour youtube. Especially, channels like Kings and Generals, for their insights and details.
To the right is my favorite painting (the drowning dog) , I don't know why I it is my favorite. I guess the point of art is to make you feel things. Goya knows how to do it.
