Hridaanshu Gusain

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

Most of my time goes into embedded systems, computer vision, real-time control, and PCB design — building the hardware-software stack that makes autonomous systems work.

When I'm not engineering, I'm usually exploring national parks with my Nikon, at the gym, watching F1, or planning my next trip.

Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn!
