Lakshmi KT

I am Lakshmi KT , an M.Tech (Embedded Systems) scholar at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Bangalore with a foundation in Electronics and Communication Engineer. My favorite part of engineering is getting hands-on with microcontrollers like STM32, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino to see my code come to life in the physical world. Throughout my academic journey , I had the opportunity to work on numerous projects, from AI-enabled companion robots for the elderly to smart irrigation systems and digital wattmeters. From my early days of building small Arduino projects to my current work with Raspberry Pi , I've always been driven by the challenge of making tech that actually solves real-world problems.

When I'm not at my workbench, you'll usually find me leading or guiding projects. I really enjoy the process of mentoring others and seeing a team effort come together. In fact, I'm currently the Class Representative for my M.Tech batch at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, which has been a great way to stay involved and help my peers stay on track. I'm always looking for new challenges where I can grow as an engineer and help others do the same
