Talks & Workshops
Workshops, Technical sessions and events I have been invited to, also some recorded technical talks.
Recorded Talks
How to Choose the Right Hardware
A step-by-step approach to picking hardware for embedded systems, from defining requirements and choosing sensors, actuators and controllers to estimating power needs and prototyping for deployment.
What is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)?
The fundamentals of RTOS on microcontrollers: why they are needed, where they are used (drones, automobiles and more), and how to start using FreeRTOS in your own projects.
Workshops & Visits
Electronics, Arduino & Robotics for Rural Students
Hands-on electronics, Arduino and robotics for 40 students from classes 9 to 11, from a remote rural area with little access to technology. We started by linking textbook physics like Ohm's law to real circuits. Most of the time went to Arduino and AlphaBot robots, where the students wrote their own logic to make the robots move, trace shapes and react to conditions. I also visited the Palghar Fab Lab and the Govardhan Skill Centre.

Learning How to Learn: A 3-Day Tech Workshop
A three-day workshop for high school students in Baramulla, who have had little exposure to technology because of the conflict in the region. Rather than one technology, the goal was to teach them how to learn new ones, working with microcontrollers, sensors, image processing and NLP. We also ran a fast-paced 3-hour session at Sanctorum School, Sopore, where students wrote movement and conditional logic to make AlphaBot2 robots trace shapes.
