About Me

Hi there! I am a 3A Mechatronics Student at the University of Waterloo. I have a strong passion for robotics related projects. Recently, I have been exploring the world of machine learning and neural networks. I also love exploring new things, and enjoy brainstorming innovative ideas in a team environment.

In the past, I have been the Manager and Team Lead of the Processing team at Watonomous, a student design team at the forefront in the design and creation of self-driving vehicles.

Some of my past projects are visible on the Projects page of my website.

I am seeking a co-op (internship) for 4 or 8 months starting Jan 2022 .
Feel free to contact me at abhi.agrahari@uwaterloo.ca!

Academics

Earlier, I had taken the relevant courses of Data Structures and Algorithms, Linear Algebra, and Circuits.
In my Engineering Graphics Design class in first term I was able to learn and apply the basics of Solidworks and AutoCAD.
I've also taken the initiative to take many online courses.
More info about my courses can be seen here.

Hardware

I have worked on many hardware/embedded projects, including: designing a PCB to interface with a PS2 controller, a 3D printed robotic hand that mimics a user's hand movements, and a music-syncing LED display.
More info on my hardware projects can be found on my projects page.

Software

Currently, I am exploring machine learning using python libraries such as Scikit-learn and TensorFlow. I have been fortunate enough to get exposure to a variety of languages and libraries, such as OpenCV, the MEAN stack, ROS, Qt, and the creation of Android Apps. My software projects are also visible here.
