Profile Picture

Hi, I'm Dipayan!

I'm a second-year computer engineering student at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. I'm interested in robotics and software development, and have been pursuing those goals since high school. I’m especially interested in how software can interface with hardware, with project experience ranging from programming control systems for ROVs to developing Python tools that visualize and process real-world data. I always strive to improve my skills, gaining experience through professional work, and exploring new ideas through personal projects. I’m currently in my third academic term at Memorial and am seeking a work term opportunity for the Winter 2026 season.
