“No one is going to come help you. No one’s coming to save you.” This quote by David Goggins resonates deeply with me as I reflect on my journey from a childhood fascination with electronic gadgets and remote-controlled toys to my enthusiastic exploration of DIY projects during my school days. My path has been shaped by an unwavering passion for electronics, propelling me to pursue a Diploma in Electronics Engineering. Through technical competitions and diploma projects, I delved into the intricacies of electronic circuits and system hardware. Concurrently, I pursued a Minor in Electric Vehicles, blending my hobbies with academic pursuits and broadening my understanding of automotive mechanisms and electronic subsystems. Throughout my undergraduate studies, spanning VLSI, IoT, Programming, and Microelectronics, I was particularly drawn to Embedded Systems. Now, fueled by my cumulative learning and professional experiences, I am driven to pursue a Master’s in Electronics/Electrical Engineering at [University name], where I seek to refine my skills further and make a meaningful contribution to the field.

Throughout my academic journey, I have maintained a strong performance, evident in my Diploma score of 94.63% in Electronics Engineering from V.J.T.I., and a commendable BTech score of 7.86 CGPA with Minors in Electric Vehicles, achieving a grade of A+. My coursework encompassed various subjects, including Digital Signal Processing, VLSI Design, Engineering Maths, Signals and Systems, Control Systems, Power Electronics, Python, C, and Java. However, the study of Microprocessors and Microcontrollers truly captivated my interest. This subject, a cornerstone of Embedded Systems, resonated deeply with me across my Diploma and Degree programs. I pursued an in-depth understanding of the architecture of various computing integrated circuits, extending my studies beyond the prescribed syllabus to explore intricate concepts from numerous reference books. This dedication was reflected in my exceptional performance, culminating in an A grade in theory and an A+ in practical examinations, making it one of the most rewarding academic experiences in my educational journey.

During my academic journey, I undertook several impactful projects that expanded my technical skills and deepened my understanding of various software and hardware technologies. Firstly, I developed a Smart IoT Energy Meter, where I calculated RMS values for voltage fluctuation and simulated an inverter, gaining proficiency in sensor usage and LTspice software. Next, I worked on a Solar Tracking Robot, contributing to designing and fabricating crucial 3D printed components using Blender software and collaborating with a 3D printer. Additionally, I contributed to a Servo Surveillance System utilising ESP32 CAM, focusing on integrating the camera module into the primary circuit and programming transceivers while building the servo pan and tilt module. Finally, for my Final Year Project, I led the design of a Multi-Terrain Robot, utilising AutoCAD for wheel mechanism design and laser cutting Tri-Star configuration. I also oversaw the construction and testing of wireless controllers for the robot. These projects exposed me to new software technologies such as VHDL Programming, Espressif IDF, and AutoCAD and provided in-depth knowledge of electronics components including batteries, motors, motor drivers, and LIDAR technology.

In addition to my diverse roles, these experiences have facilitated significant learning opportunities. During my internship experiences, I gained invaluable hands-on experience and honed my skills in diverse areas of engineering. At Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, Farm Division, I was immersed in the project “Digitization in NEF Cylinder Head,” where I troubleshooted error codes throughout the manufacturing process, designed informative webpages detailing fault codes and error logs, and implemented a wireless communication system to monitor manufacturing status in the NEF bay. This experience allowed me to operate various manufacturing machinery safely while prioritising adherence to procedures. Subsequently, at Emertxe Information Technologies, I remotely developed and tested firmware for embedded systems using C programming language, working extensively with PIC microcontrollers and MPLAB X IDE. I interfaced PIC with peripherals, designed multiple projects such as an Oven and Security System, and delivered comprehensive demonstrations alongside presentations, solidifying my understanding of embedded systems and firmware development.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have been actively involved in various co-curricular activities that have enriched my personal and professional development. Serving as the Department Coordinator for Technovanza at the Department of Electronics, V.J.T.I from November 2017 to February 2018, I facilitated student engagement in technical events and coordinated various activities, including seminars and competitions, thereby contributing to the vibrant academic atmosphere of the institute. Furthermore, I undertook hands-on mobile hardware and software diagnostics training with the National Skill Development Corporation from October 2021 to November 2021, enhancing my practical skills. Additionally, I completed the introductory level of Tabla, a traditional musical instrument, demonstrating my commitment to cultural enrichment. Engaging in community service, I volunteered for a beach cleaning drive at Dadar Sea face in January 2021, contributing to environmental sustainability efforts. Moreover, I showcased my sportsmanship by participating in the Inter-college table tennis tournament in February 2023, furthering my holistic development beyond academic pursuits. These diverse experiences have broadened my skill set and instilled in me a sense of leadership, teamwork, and social responsibility.

Driven by a desire to excel in my career while positively impacting the broader community and organisations, my future goal is to contribute significantly to Electronics Engineering through research and development, focusing on Embedded Systems integration. From Automotive Electronics to IoT, I envision leveraging the knowledge acquired from my Master’s degree to explore limitless areas of implementation. This program will expand my theoretical understanding and provide invaluable exposure to practical applications, fostering innovative projects and initiatives. Over the next decade, I aspire to emerge as a leading expert in the electronics domain, utilising the expertise gained to drive forward-thinking solutions. By immersing myself in the German academic and engineering culture, I aim to broaden my perspective and enhance adaptability, thus becoming a more versatile and globally-minded engineer. Through strategic decision-making and a culture of innovation, I seek to influence organisational trajectories positively. Ultimately, my journey with the Master’s in Electronics/Electrical Engineering at [University Name] is about personal growth and leaving a lasting, positive impact on the field, influencing future professionals and advancing the collective learning experience.
