Control Subsystem

Aug 2025 - Nov 2025

The project involves an educational robot that follows a line and has audiovisual feedback. I was involved in the software side and wrote code to control the motors based on sensor input, and drive the speakers. Everything has been written in portable C99 and can be easily used on other microcontrollers with no modification to library files.

Extension to easily print labs for ECE 2031

Feb 2025

This is a simple extension that allows printing labs for ECE 2031 in an optimal format. The extension adjusts margins, hides interactive UI elements, prevents text/images from breaking in the print, and makes the background white.

To save money, I highly recommend setting the scaling to 80% when printing – this reduces the number of pages considerably.

Trading Pokemon cards for coins

Jan 2025 - May 2025

PokeTrade allows trading of Pokemon cards in a simple and fun manner. The app is web-based and responsive, and trading is encouraged through the use of coins.

NOTE: While the source code is available to download, it has no license on it. This is intentional since it was a class project.

Wordle clone on the mbed

Aug 2024 - Dec 2024

2035le is a Wordle clone made for the mbed development board using C. The game allows up to 6 guesses on a single ECE 2035 related five-letter word. The “keyboard” was a joy-con. To make typing easier, there is a rollover keyboard feature. I also created a chunkwise BMP loader to deal with the 64K RAM limitation of the board. This allowed me to load full-screen splash images, making the game a lot more fun.

These are a bunch of useful scripts and aliases that might come in handy when using a Debian-based Linux system. They range from simple things (like py for python3) to something more complex (show the currently playing music file in OBS). Some of them also work on MacOS.

As a team leader, I helped rebuild the website of my high school from scratch. The site, nicknamed D.A.R.V.I.S. (Digital, Artificially Intelligent, Robust Versatile Information System), was originally static and with my peers, I worked on transforming my teachers’ ideas to a concrete website within a couple of weeks. Updating the website announcements and achievements was a lot of manual work, so I created an intuitive backend, which enabled anybody to update the site .

I sincerely thank CS faculty Ms. Hemalatha Lognathan, Chemistry faculty Mr. K. Navaneetha Krishnan, and Principal Ms. Chitra Raghavan for this opportunity. Also, special thanks to Mr. Karthikeyan Subramaniam who graciously helped us with DNS Configuration and setting up an AWS account!

Since leadership has changed, many of the original design principles I had cultivated have gone under the bus. I’ve attached the earliest prototype I was able to find. Even though it’s buggy, it still gives an idea of how the page was meant to look.

Non-hierarchical file system which can be used to store files on basis of multiple properties.

2021 - Apr 2023

Back home, digital learning wasn’t a thing at the school level – all assignments were on paper. Then, the pandemic came and everything had to go online. The genius IT administrators thought that a “class” in Google Classroom meant a section in a particular grade. To make matters worse, teachers weren’t trained properly on how to use the software. (For instance, some teachers created a new module for every assignment, and others never bothered with sections.) While I had a neat directory structure on my local machine to solve those issues, problems started occurring when teachers would refer to some PDF they had uploaded in the Announcements section weeks ago. This became annoying since there were too many attributes to sort these files by, hence came Gurutracker.

The software was continually improved throughout the years until I graduated from high school. It’s definitely one of my most complex and useful programs (though I could make it way more efficient now!)

Unbiased ad-free news, directly from the source

2022

Most news outlets get their news from journalism organizations such as AP News (US), ANI, PTI (India), and add their own twist and publish it to their ad-infested sites.

This project was an attempt to provide for up-to-date news directly from these organizations. There are two parts – a web crawler and a web interface. The former has been lost in time, but it should be possible to make a new one easily.
