Hey there, I'm Gaurav

Electrical engineer by education, data engineer by profession,generalist by heart.

I build data platforms for a living and can't stop tinkering the rest of the time — agents, embedded boards, half-finished robots, whatever catches my attention.

This is where all of it lands: code, writing, videos, experiments. Have a look around.

Everything I've been making

Newest first

Projects, posts, videos, experiments — one list, so nothing gets buried in a tab nobody clicks.

In progress

Agentic AI

Autonomous and semi-autonomous systems that plan and act, not just answer.

In progress

Physical AI

AI that perceives and acts in the world — smart-home automation and firmware today, robotics and edge AI next.

Off the clock

The generalist part isn't a tagline. It's how I end up learning most of what I know.

Home automation

Boards, sensors and firmware around the house.

Robotics

Slowly teaching motors to behave.

Photography

Mostly hills, water and the odd good light.

Trekking

Best ideas arrive somewhere on the way up.

Cooking

A system with fast feedback loops and dinner at the end.

Reading & music

One in the background of the other.

Say hi

Ideas, collaborations, or a hard data problem you're stuck on — my inbox is open.
