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, focusing on embedded systems development. My experience includes developing embedded C firmware for the Paradigm Engineering autonomous kart project, designing data handling systems for the MUNStar-1 CubeSat project, and building Python tools for engineering data processing and automation. I’m always looking to improve my skills through professional experience, hands-on projects, and exploring new technologies.
