Hi, I'm Adithya.

I build embedded systems
and write about what
I'm learning along the way.

This site is part project log, part notebook. One half documents things I'm building: sensing pipelines, TinyML experiments, firmware prototypes. The other half is where I write through the math, ML and signal processing behind them, mostly to figure out what I actually understand and what I don't.

A lot of it is work-in-progress. Some of it turns out to be wrong on the first try. I update things as I learn better.

Fair warning: I use AI to help me write and structure many of the blogs and notes here. The ideas, projects, and the learning are mine, but the words often get a pass through an LLM before they end up on the page. I know that's not everyone's thing, so you'll have to bear with it. I'd rather be upfront about that than pretend otherwise.
A note on the approach

Why this site exists

I've found I only really understand something when I try to explain it or build it, and usually discover, halfway through, that I didn't understand it at all. Writing forces me to slow down and untangle ideas. Building forces me to deal with every messy detail I'd otherwise hand-wave past.

So this is where both threads end up: project notes alongside learning notes, each one filling in gaps the other leaves behind. Nothing here is meant to be authoritative. It's just one person's attempt to make sense of things, out in the open.

📓

Learning Notes

Long-form, work-in-progress notes on probability, linear algebra, optimisation, DSP, and ML fundamentals. Written for future-me, but hopefully useful if you like slow, detailed walk-throughs.

Projects & Experiments

Embedded sensing platforms, TinyML prototypes, and small experiments where code meets physical hardware. Expect debugging stories and lessons learned, not polished showcases.

Moisture Meter

I'm part of a small effort to build a practical moisture meter for the cashew processing industry. Quiet engineering focused on solving a real problem reliably for people who need it.
