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.

Sherin Joseph Roy
Startup Founder & Hardware/IoT Enthusiast
Hardware enthusiast and autonomous systems architect. Building the future through robotics, IoT, and intelligent machines. Obsessed with creating autonomous vehicles, drones, and systems that think and act independently.
Mission to create thinking safety systems for personal and public safety.
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.
