About

I'm an Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering student at VIT Vellore, currently interning at IIT Kharagpur under Prof. Chandra Sekhar Tiwary, working on 2D nanomaterial-based electrochemical sensors for pesticide detection. Outside of that I've built a few things on my own — a YOLOv8 crowd analytics system, an Arduino-based CPU thermal control setup, and a few websites for local businesses in Vellore. I like projects where you can actually see the thing working in front of you, not just code on a screen. Aiming for CERN's Summer Student Programme next, alongside looking at research/grad options in Europe. GitHub: github.com/rithish-dev
