Arun R

About

Hi, I’m Arun R, an Electronics and Computer Engineering graduate with a strong interest in IoT, Machine Learning, and software development. I enjoy working on real-world problems where hardware, data, and software come together to create useful solutions.

Electronics and Computer Engineer & Tech Enthusiast.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with research groups like Humanitarian Technology (HUT) Labs, the Centre for Flexible Electronics and Advanced Materials, and AMMACHI Labs (Amrita Multi Modal Applications Using Computer & Human Interaction). During this time, I collaborated on projects with the University of Tennessee and contributed to the academic community as a conference presenter and reviewer. I also co-authored publications, which gave me valuable experience in research and technical writing.

Right now, I’m expanding my skills in software engineering, focusing on Java and modern development practices, and I’m also working on a journal paper on autonomous vehicle technology.

Outside of academics and work, I often find myself drawn to creative and curious pursuits. Photography and color grading let me see the world differently, while gaming and cinema open doors to new kinds of storytelling. I’ve always been fascinated by maps and cultures, which makes travel and geography a natural interest. And above all, I like staying curious—whether it’s exploring the latest in tech or simply learning something new about the world around me.

I’m always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and conversations that lead to learning and growth.
