Knotiloid pioneers "smart routines" for electric vehicles (EVs), leveraging IoT, blockchain and neural networks for multi-criteria optimization. It is a distributed platform connecting stakeholders -- EVs, charging stations & energy utility companies.▪Conceptualized a groundbreaking solution addressing challenges in EV mobility, emphasizing operational and energy efficiency, established and communicated a clear roadmap adapting strategies to evolving market trends.▪Led the development of MVP for showcasing the feasibility and potential success of the solution. Demonstrated exceptional resource management, resulting in 10-15% reduction in grid overload issues, in the simulated environment. ▪Implemented charging demand forecasting models using TensorFlow, improving forecast accuracy by 34%, deployed the models on IBM Cloud using Watson Machine Learning and MLOps best practices.▪Resolved user contention problems and improved charging etiquette at charging stations, enhancing overall system transparency.▪Onboarded energy utility companies (a state owned & a private company) and 4 among the top 10 local charging station companies for the demo run. ▪Led fundraising and investor relations, securing seed funding and established key partnerships with sensors and hardware suppliers, and EV user data providers.

My commitment to community well-being being the motivation for undertaking this impactful project. After the Covid-19 pandemic, I desired to connect with remote communities, listen to their challenges, and understand their coping mechanisms.▪Conducted a study on forest-based resilience during Covid19, funded by The Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development▪Assisted in 160+ household surveys and 20+ interviews, digitizing and analyzing handwritten and audio data providing a holistic understanding of remote communities around Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary

Industry-University Collaboration ▪Identified strategic use cases to exploit blockchain and smart contracts in the automotive sector, contributing to the exploration of innovative solutions for industry challenges.▪Conducted a comprehensive analysis of selected use cases, assessing technical and financial feasibility to inform decision-making.▪Developed a Web3-based Android decentralized app (DApp) prototype and wrote smart contracts on the Ethereum network with meticulous attention to security.▪Designed an intuitive graphical representation for blockchain platforms enhancing comprehension of complex use cases, facilitating strategic decision-making in the implementation of blockchain solutions.

▪RTL design testing & verification of SRAM library for ARM Cortex A7, showcasing technical skills relevant to hardware-software integration.▪Full custom System-on-Chip (SoC) design flow.

▪Development of SCADA system for a AC motor control using PLCs, used in hydropower generation
