I'm Rishi Kiran P.Building intelligentembedded systems
Engineering graduate specializing in Embedded Systems, IoT & System Programming. Building next-gen solutions at the intersection of hardware and software.
Turning ideas into intelligent systems
Hardware meets software — building the future of embedded tech at India's premier research institute.
Engineering graduate from BMS Institute of Technology & Management specializing in Embedded Systems, IoT, and System Programming. Currently a Project Associate at IISc, developing sensor-driven intelligent systems bridging hardware and software.
Expertise spans C++, Python, Arduino, microcontrollers, Linux, Docker, and AI-enabled robotics — from real-time monitoring devices to autonomous robots with speech and facial recognition.
Featured work
Vehicle Safety & Monitoring
IoT-enabled vehicle monitoring with automated safety features and real-time sensor alerts.
Automatic High / Low Beam
A light sensor reads ambient light and oncoming headlights, and the controller switches between high and low beam automatically so other drivers aren't dazzled.
ESP32 Voice Assistant
ESP32-S3 voice assistant with on-device wake word, I2S mic and speaker — hands-free smart-home control via Home Assistant.
Screen-Synced Ambient Light
WLED on an ESP32 drives WS2812B LEDs behind the monitor while HyperHDR captures the screen edges and streams matching colours over Wi-Fi in real time.
Agriculture Modernization
Remote crop monitoring system preventing weather damage with real-time sensor tracking.
Grey-water Detection
Arduino-based water quality monitoring with cloud notifications for treatment status.
