About Me

I'm a startup founder and hardware/IoT enthusiast passionate about building innovative solutions that bridge the gap between hardware and software.

My obsession with autonomous systems drives everything I do. From building self-driving vehicles to programming intelligent drones, I'm constantly pushing the boundaries of what machines can achieve independently. My journey started with hardware and embedded systems, and I've never looked back. I love working with Raspberry Pi, creating autonomous vehicles and drones, and developing systems that think and act on their own. I've also developed multiple open-source packages on PyPI to support the autonomous systems community.

Recent posts from my LinkedIn sharing thoughts on autonomous vehicles, AI, and innovation

Sherin Joseph Roy

Just wanted to share something I've been tinkering with! I put together an autonomous vehicle simulator in Python and decided to open-source it. Honestly, it started because I was trying to understand how self-driving cars work, and I couldn't find simulation tools that were both powerful and easy to experiment with.
