Hi I'm Hari Vikinesh

Mechatronics Engineer & Robotics Enthusiast

Learning concepts in school and college always felt like a race for grades. Never really thought about applying them... until I built my first line follower robot.

Theory meets Practice! And wow, how fun was that?

From then on, it was all about robots, turning what I learned into something real.

Over the years, curiosity led me down many paths, Embedded Systems, ROS, Web Development (MERN), each one just as exciting as the last! ⭐



Work Daily Life

Senior Project Technical Assistant (2023-present)

ERTS Lab, CSE Department, IIT Bombay

Never imagined I'd teach over 1000 students in my life, teaching was never even in my dreams!

But in 2023, I joined e-Yantra, an online robotics outreach project funded by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. And wow, what a decision! 🚀

I build robots, teach, mentor students online through competitions, and even write grading scripts. Turns out, I made myself an all-rounder!

But the real game-changer? My colleagues introduced me to CPU Design, a world where a small set of logic elements powers everything we use today.

Now, I'm involved in teaching FPGA, HDL, Computer Architecture, and Embedded Systems. Along the way, I picked up Bash Scripting, Docker, and Electron.js too.



What I can do?

Embedded & FPGA Designer

I design HDL from specifications, write testbenches for verification, and even built a pipelined RISC-V (RV32I) CPU from scratch. Oh, and along the way, I’ve also crafted some hardware accelerators!

ROS Developer

In the ROS world, I design custom robot models in CAD, build ROS packages, and simulate robots. The best part? Others can use my packages to implement complex algorithms from the ROS community!

Amateur Software Designer

Yep, I’m a certified Full Stack Web Developer (Udemy). I build web apps using the MERN stack and even took it a step further by using those skills to create desktop applications with Electron.js!

Mechatronic System Modeling & Design

Mostly to automate. From mechanical modeling in CAD, choosing components, controller, designing PCBs, to writing optimized code that keeps systems simple, scalable, and cost-effective.

More into Embedded & FPGA Engineering, off-the-shelf software engineer. 😎
