Hi! I'm Anshu, a Mechatronics & Robotics engineer studying Computer Engineering at UIUC, with a minor in CS.

I really enjoy embedded systems, computer vision, real-time control, and PCB design - basically the software/hardware stack that drives autonomous systems.

When I'm not at school, I love exploring nature and taking pictures with my Sony a6400.

Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn!
