I'm Deneth Priyadarshana — an Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering undergraduate at the University of Moratuwa, designing autonomous robots and embedded systems where electronics, computer vision and control theory meet.
01 — About
I'm an undergraduate at the University of Moratuwa reading for a B.Sc. (Hons) in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, currently ranked on the Dean's List with a CGPA of 3.83/4.0. My work sits at the intersection of embedded firmware, computer vision, and control systems — I like taking a robot from a mechanical concept to a fully autonomous, closed-loop system.
Over the last two years I've built micromice, robotic arms, line followers and vision-guided mobile robots — competing nationally with teams PRISM and Maze Hackers. I'm equally comfortable in SOLIDWORKS and Altium Designer as I am writing C/C++ firmware or tuning a ROS 2 node.
