Hi I'm Hari Vikinesh

pursuing Masters @EE6, IIT Bombay

Learning concepts in school and college always felt like a race for grades. Never really thought about applying them... until I built my first line follower robot. From then on, it was all about robots, turning what I learned into something real ⭐

It took some time, but I finally found my passion in chip design and computer architecture. It’s like the ultimate puzzle, where every piece matters. I love how logic gates can create something so powerful and complex, like a CPU! 🖥️

Now, I’m diving deep into chip design, CPU Design and Computer Architecture, where the magic of logic gates powers everything we use today. It’s like building the brain of a computer! 🧠

Work Daily Life

M.Tech in Integrated Circuit and Systems (2025-2028)

EE Department, IIT Bombay

Moving towards my biggest goal in the domain of chip design and computer architecture. For now, running behind the course work and RnD projects 🏃🏻‍➡️

Senior Project Technical Assistant (2023-2025)

ERTS Lab, CSE Department, IIT Bombay

In 2023, I joined e-Yantra, an online robotics outreach project funded by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. And wow, what a decision! 🚀

I build robots, teach, mentor students online through competitions, and even write grading scripts. But the real game-changer? My colleagues introduced me to CPU Design, a world where a small set of logic elements powers everything we use today.

I was involved in teaching FPGA, HDL, Computer Architecture, and Embedded Systems. Along the way, I picked up Bash Scripting, Docker, and Electron.js too.

What I can do?

Embedded & FPGA Designer

I design HDL from specifications, write testbenches for verification, and even built a pipelined RISC-V (RV32I) CPU from scratch. Oh, and along the way, I’ve also crafted some hardware accelerators!

ROS Developer

In the ROS world, I design custom robot models in CAD, build ROS packages, and simulate robots. The best part? Others can use my packages to implement complex algorithms from the ROS community!

Amateur Software Designer

Yep, I’m a certified Full Stack Web Developer (Udemy). I build web apps using the MERN stack and even took it a step further by using those skills to create desktop applications with Electron.js!

Mechatronic System Modeling & Design

Mostly to automate. From mechanical modeling in CAD, choosing components, controller, designing PCBs, to writing optimized code that keeps systems simple, scalable, and cost-effective.

Highlights

FPGA Designs

Exploring somethings

Exploiting the re-configurable hardware to build hardware accelerators for different purposes.

Balancing Bot RISC-V CPU

ROS2 Packages

Algorithms & Simulation

Idea is to develop packages with detailed instructions that can be used by begineers to create their own ROS2 packages.

SBR HDR Drone

CAD Modeling

Fusion 360 & Solid Works.

While making the robots, I started designing different kind of robots ftestingor simulations and to build hardware, some of the designs are attached below.

BD Bot Drone SM Bot HDR DDR

Soil Monitoring Bot

e-Yantra, IIT Bombay.

In this project, we have built an FPGA bot to solve persisting problems in abstracted agricultural fields.

Vargi Bot

e-Yantra, IIT Bombay.

In this project, we have used ur5 robotic manipulators to make a smart warehouse system using ROS.

WareHouse Robots

Grid3.0, Flipkart.

We have built swarm robots to pick and place packages in the respective bins to increase the productivity in the warehouse.

FPGA Theme App

App development.

I developed this app primarily to run a backend script to enable bluetooth communication with robot, it also validates the message received and scores them accordingly.
