Picture of me

Hey!


Hey there! I'm Viswa, an incoming Electronic and Information Engineering student at Imperial College London. My interests lie primarily in Robotics, FPGAs and Quantum Computing.


While my interests lie pretty far & wide, my ambition lies in developing powerful Robotics for interstellar travel, conducting FPGA research, both for Robotics and experimental Physics, and advancing Quantum Computing.


Until now, I spent the better part of the previous 2 years studying the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme where I achieved 40/45 points with the top grade (7) in all my Higher Level subjects.


The IB piqued my interest in academic research, having written papers on modelling populations using differential equations and simplex-based optimizations and experimenting with Euler's Pendulum and Lagrangian Mechanics for the first time (I am waiting for permission from the IB to say its okay to publish these).


I'm also an avid writer, calisthenics enjoyer and photographer (the photograph here was taken by me!).

Intern @ Autumn (YC S25)

July 2025 - July 2025.

Python

Python

This is the language I'm the most proficient in. I do my Machine Learning and Data Science work in Python.

Rust

Rust

I do a lot of embedded development in Rust and also on the web using the Axum framework.

TypeScript

TypeScript

I recently picked up TypeScript during my internship at Autumn. I plan on using it for my future general web development needs.

Django

Django

I've loved Django for a while now, and have used it in all my SSR web apps.

NextJS

NextJS

NextJS is something I avoided for far too long. I started using it for my Autumn internship, and now it powers my personal website!

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is my database of choice for all of my recent projects, though I have begun to check out Convex.


Currently Reading


Mathematics for Machine Learning

Deisenroth, Faisal, Ong

I've taken up this book before I join Imperial. Although IB AA HL has given me a strong foundation, CS229 has certainly humbled me.

Algorithms to Live By

Brian Christian, Tom Griffiths

Turns out people can actually learn from us CS nerds. Picking up a copy soon!
