Hello there. Welcome to my studio. Here you could find information about my DIY and coding projects.
The scope of my interests are: Android development, embedded systems, microelectronics, CNC machines, 3D modeling, industrial design and digital fabrication.
VARUN is the name of the autonomous underwater vehicle being developed by a team of undergraduate students under Robotics Club IIT Kanpur. I have spend more time on this that all the other projects (other that huracan) combined. Headover to auv-iitk.github.io for more details. We are using ROS and OpenCV for making the robot runs autonomously. All source code is open source and can be accessed at github.com/auv-iitk.

Huracan
This is a secret project being worked on via hackcave hackers. I have spend more time on this that all the other projects (other that auv) combined. I am probably not allowed to mention this project to anyone, so please don't tell anyone that I told you :P This is perhaps the first professional code that I have written. Its has taught me to appreciate code design and software architecture. Its about 6k lines of java code. Some of the things used in this project are Retrofit2, Dagger2, Jenkins CI, Google Support Libraries, Stetho, Reactive Java, Pretty Time, HtmlTextView. We are following MVVM to structure our code.

This theme contains some major enhancements which are usually not present in other themes. You have blog post categories, blog is not the default landing page but a sub directory, google analytics, disque comments, read time estimation, jekyll collection for portfolio items, search, travis integration. I was earlier using Freelancer theme before I added blog to my website.
