Personal Projects

UWB based hands free locking - Prototype (iOS)

One of my proud accomplishment. This solves a real problem we faced at General Motors where the need was to lock or unlock when the user is within a specific distance without touching the mobile phone.

I build this prototype with my own UWB sensor and build UWB layer on top of BLE layer which acted as a data link layer running on Swift.

With this technology, operations can now be performed based on precise distance of the user from the asset.

This is the foundational step towards building a true hands-free locking mechanism, a magical experience.

Chat App - Prototype (iOS)

This was built in Swift using Cloud Firestore for realtime cloud database and Firebase Store to store assets such as images and videos.

The custom flow layout is built using Compositional Collection Views using diffable data source.

Private Repo

Technologies:

Jetpack Compose for declarative UI components.

Retrofit and GSON for networking and decoding the objects.

Room Database for persistence layer.

Compose Navigation and routing.

Hilt for Dependency Injection

Kotlin.

Backend Server and Website using MERN Stack

Built backend server using Express, Node, and MongoDB running on Azure Cloud.

Built Single Page Application (SPA) website using React

Build payment system using Stripe SDK

Technologies:

Python

SKLearn

Numpy

Pandas

Jupyter Notebook

Digital control of Tractor Hydraulics

This is one of my proudest achievement.

In 1999 when I was in India, I wondered why don’t we have autonomous tractors and I thought I would start by automating Tractor ploughing system.

I did not know much about microprocessor and electrical engineering at that time, so I learnt in depth and designed and built a 8085 based motherboard from scratch and wrote assembly language that successfully controlled ploughing systems at a prototype level.
