I'm Hari Vikinesh

I started learning Full stack Web Development through Udemy. This website is my first step towards web development. I have also created a mini Hand Cricket game website. I am working with some other designs as well.

Continuing the ROS2 projects to learn ROS2-Gazebo plugins and controllers, ROS2 Navigation and SLAM.

As ROS1 is approaching the End of Life, I started migrating to ROS2 Humble. I completed all the basics and built the robot models using Fusion 360 to use in the Gazebo simulation to learn advanced ROS2 concepts.

I did a 6-week internship in e-Yantra, IIT Bombay as a student intern on a research project titled FPGA for Edge. The project aimed to understand and exploit the potential of FPGAs in agriculture applications. I was focused on training ML models which can be deployed on FPGA and documenting the project.

My second round in eYRC 2021-22. An 8-month journey to face new challenges and acquire new skills. This time we were working on FPGAs to solve an agricultural problem that is abstracted as an arena. Our team has been selected as one of 5 finalists out of 252 teams in the Soil Monitoring Bot theme and ended in 2nd position.

Started to Learn additional CAD Modeling tools like Autodesk Fusion 360 and SketchUp. I completed the Engineering Design and Modeling for Mechanical Engineers using Fusion360 course through Coursera and SketchUp Fundamentals: Modeling Practice Official Course.

One of my best learning experiences is participating in the e-Yantra Robotics Competition. It is an 8-month course with continuous learning and deploying tasks. In this edition of the eYRC 2020-21, We have built an Autonomous Warehouse Management System using ROS. We ended up in 3rd Position out of 470 teams in the international finals for Vargi Bots theme.

A deep dive into online learning to explore advanced programming. Python for Data Science with a score of 82% through NPTEL, Image Processing using Python and Machine Learning Foundations through Coursera.

In my First Year of engineering, I was focused on learning rather than developing. But in the second year I put my knowledge to the test by building a line follower robot and got hands-on with my first micro-controller Arduino. I was also participating in other activities like paper presentations, hackathons and workshops.

At this stage, I realized the potential of the Internet in the enhancement of learning. I started to learn additional courses to acquire new skills. I completed the course Introduction to Internet of Things through NPTEL with a score of 77%. I also completed Analog and Digital Circuit Simulation Using orCAD pSPICE and CAD Modeling using SolidWorks In-person courses.

After my state board exam, I had a lot of time to spare. I decided to spend it sensibly. So, If I have spent half a day playing my favorite sports like Cricket, Badminton and Chess, I will spend the rest of the day learning PhotoShop, InDesign, Illustrator and Python programming in CSC Computer Education.

Grade 12 with Computer science as the elective. This is an important stage of my career as I decided to take up engineering as my career. This is my second state board exam with a bigger challenge than the first exam, eventually, I cleared the exam with a score of 94.08%.

I studied at S.S.M Lakshmi Ammal Matric Hr. Sec. School, Namakkal. My first state board exam was on Grade 10 and I cleared the exam with a score of 95.2%.
