Barath R
Electronics & Communication Engineering Student | Embedded Systems & IoT
Professional Summary
Third-year Electronics and Communication Engineering student with hands-on experience across embedded firmware, bare-metal systems programming, and IoT hardware design. Comfortable working close to the metal -- from register-level RISC-V trap handlers to production-style sensor and communication pipelines -- and building the cloud/dashboard layers that sit on top of them. Seeking an embedded systems internship/role to contribute to real-time and connected hardware products.

Featured Projects
Bare-Metal RISC-V Trap Handler & Context Switcher
Tech Stack: RISC-V Assembly, direct MMIO, no RTOS
- Implemented a trap handler and timer-based context switcher entirely in assembly with no FreeRTOS or vendor libraries
- Worked directly with memory-mapped I/O registers for interrupt handling and task switching
Dual-Axis Solar Tracker
Tech Stack: Servo Motors, LDR Sensors, Microcontroller Control
- Built a dual-axis solar panel tracking system to maximize sunlight incidence using closed-loop sensor feedback
- Implemented motor control logic for continuous azimuth and elevation tracking
Digital Twin for Industrial Monitoring
Tech Stack: Sensor Fusion, 5G Connectivity, Real-Time Dashboard
- Developing a digital twin platform for industrial equipment monitoring with 5G-integrated data pipelines
- Designing real-time sensor fusion and visualization for predictive maintenance use cases
Conformal Helmet-Integrated Antenna Array
Tech Stack: Microstrip Patch Array, Dual-Band UHF/L-Band
- Designing a flexible microstrip patch antenna array conformal to a helmet surface, replacing bulky whip antennas
- Targeting dual-band UHF and L-band support with an RF shielding layer and ruggedized coax interface to existing radio/camera systems
Technical Experience
- Conceptualized, developed, and iterated on multiple embedded and IoT systems end-to-end, from hardware bring-up to firmware and dashboards
- Active organizer with IETE Students' Forum (ISF), coordinating technical hackathons and events
