Hi, I'm Srividya.
Welcome to my journey!

Robotics and Mechatronics Engineer

I build robots for the messy part of engineering, where algorithms meet motors, sensors, electronics, and the physical world. I am pursuing a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University, specializing in Robotics and Controls.

My work spans aerial robotics, autonomous navigation, embedded sensing, controls, and system integration, with a particular interest in making software behave reliably on real hardware. That means dealing with sensor noise, latency, mechanical constraints, electronics, imperfect measurements, and all the small things that make physical systems difficult and interesting

I began with a degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering, which gave me a foundation in electronics and embedded systems. That foundation eventually pulled me toward robotics, where I could combine hardware, software, sensing, and control into complete physical systems.
