Electrical and Computer Engineering Honors

Building toward the future of systems through software, electronics, and emerging technology.

I am Siddharth Basapur, an Electrical and Computer Engineering Honors student at The Ohio State University. My work spans software development, Firebase backend systems, robotics, Arduino circuitry, low-voltage electronics, and practical hardware/software projects.

About

I like building at the point where code, hardware, and real users meet. My recent experience includes Firebase backend work, Cloud Function deployment workflows, robotics instruction, Arduino-controlled prototypes, and low-voltage electronics through Formula SAE.

I am especially interested in projects that make systems more reliable, useful, and testable, whether that means debugging backend features, improving an electronics subsystem, or turning a health-focused idea into a working web prototype.
