About me

Who I Am

Hardware engineer turned product leader — bridging deep technical knowledge with real product thinking.

I'm a Hardware Product Manager and Electronics Engineer based in Chennai with 7+ years of experience taking embedded, robotics, and IoT products from concept to mass production.

I translate messy user needs into clean requirements, steer cross-functional teams through the chaos of hardware development, and make sure things actually get built on time, within cost, and to spec.

My roots are in the maker community — since 2013 I've contributed 250+ projects to Arduino, Hackster.io, and Element14, authoring tutorials and ranking in the top 10% of contributors globally.

I also create educational content through Electroverse.AI on YouTube, reaching 100,000+ learners on robotics and edge AI.
