Tarun Udayakumar

Driven by a relentless curiosity for technology and innovation, I am an Electronics and Communication Engineering graduate with a penchant for pushing boundaries in the realm of embedded systems, IoT, and AI. My journey in engineering has been intertwined with hands-on experiences at Royal Enfield, where I honed my skills in designing and developing Vehicle Control Unit software for electric vehicles. Beyond academia, I've ventured into diverse projects, from crafting autonomous rovers to devising intelligent vehicle damage assessment systems. My leadership roles in academic committees and clubs have nurtured my collaborative spirit and organizational finesse. Proficient in a spectrum of programming languages and microcontrollers, my passion lies in leveraging these tools to drive meaningful advancements in technology. I am poised to contribute my expertise, enthusiasm, and innovative mindset to pioneering projects in the ever-evolving landscape of engineering and technology.

Professionally, I've been immersed in the realm of engineering, particularly focused on cutting-edge advancements in Electric Vehicle (EV) technology. At Royal Enfield, my journey commenced with an internship where I actively contributed to developing and implementing essential APIs for microcontroller-based Vehicle Control Units (VCUs). This experience paved the way for my role as a Specialist Engineering Trainee, wherein I took charge of end-to-end design and development of Vehicle Control Unit software for EVs. I spearheaded efforts in maintaining CAN specifications, interfacing with critical vehicle components, and collaborating seamlessly with hardware teams for effective board implementation. Moreover, I've been extensively involved in documentation, debugging, and resolving software issues, ensuring a robust and efficient EV platform. These experiences have fortified my expertise in embedded systems, software development, and cross-functional collaboration within the EV landscape.

My education journey has been anchored in Electronics and Communication Engineering at Anna University, MIT campus. Throughout my BE program, I maintained a consistent pursuit of excellence, culminating in an 8.7 CGPA. My high school tenure at The Schram Academy in Chennai further laid the groundwork for my academic rigor, where I achieved noteworthy grades of 8.6 GPA in Class 10 and secured an impressive 85% in Class 12. These educational milestones have equipped me with a solid foundation in technical knowledge and a disciplined approach to learning, forming the bedrock of my professional endeavors in the engineering domain.
