A personal lab · Pune, India

Following curiosity.
Building along the way.

I'm Sunil, a software engineer in Pune. This is where I explore machine learning, build useful things, and follow the occasional trail into the hills.

01 / In the lab

Questions worth building something for.

Featured experiment · Research in progress

Can an iPad learn
to recognise signs?

Exploring Indian Sign Language with on-device learning: from video and body landmarks to sequence models. Along the way, I'm testing what brain-inspired circuits can learn about motion.

Still an open question: the motion experiments have not yet established robust recognition.

Raspberry Pi vehicle telemetry project

Hardware / Data engineering

A little curiosity under the bonnet.

A Raspberry Pi, a car's OBD-II port, and a way to bring vehicle telemetry into a Python dashboard.

Small tools, useful detours.

Things made to scratch an itch.

02 / Outside the lab

Sometimes the best
next step is outside.

Away from the screen, I enjoy trekking, swimming, and getting lost in a good book. Astrophysics is another rabbit hole I happily fall into.

The curiosity stays. The scenery changes.

Something sparked a thought?

I'd love to hear what you're exploring.
