Spends his free time building Electric Vehicles, motorcycles, metal/wood projects, AI tools, tinkering with Single Board Computers and so on.
Bharathi’s fascination towards electronics dates to his pre-teen days when he used to break and re-purpose his battery powered toys. However, his venture into actual electronics (transistors, Op-Amp, Timers etc) started when he was 14. This and consistent participation in science events across his state pushed him among the top 30 contestants short-listed for “BalaShree” award for creative science in India. Though he didn’t win the award, this contest turned out to be the acceleration point of his zeal towards electronics.
His high school days were spent on random Electronics books and magazines leading to numerous mini projects. And his college years were filled with Microcontrollers, FPGAs, Image processing, Robotics,etc. He was the Vice President of Robotics and Machine Intelligence, a Robotics group in NIT-Trichy where he worked on various projects and served fellow students through technical-workshops and personal guidance. He has taken part in various contests, conducted workshops in and around the college.
Besides his project builds, he enjoys hiking, camping, off-roading and playing bamboo flutes.
