The Study

Sanchit Thareja

I'm a final-year ENC (Electronics and Computer Engineering) student at Thapar Institute, graduating in 2027. I build across the whole stack, from STM32 firmware and PCBs up to machine-learning models, LLM agents and web apps.

I've written real-time sensor firmware at a startup, trained GPU-accelerated models that run at the edge, built an AI sourcing agent as an internship deliverable, and shipped a live jewellery store. I like problems where hardware, data and software meet.

Outside engineering, I've run a student chapter's finances end to end, coordinated events for 1,000+ people, and helped a lean startup with hiring, onboarding and SOPs.

This site is a map because good engineering should feel a little bit like magic. It shouldn't be confusing, though, so every room is labelled.

  • B.Tech ENC, Thapar · 2023–27
  • Off duty: robotics, a good book & building whatever comes to mind
  • Speaks English, Hindi & Punjabi
  • Also fluent in: budgets, SOPs & spreadsheets
  • Weakness: one more animation

Record of Service

  1. Jan – Jul 2025Embedded Systems DeveloperAuraFlo (startup)Firmware in C/C++ on STM32 and ESP32 for real-time sensor data over UART, SPI and I2C. Designed and debugged PCBs in EasyEDA and Eagle, and did hardware bring-up. In a lean team I also worked as a generalist: supporting hiring and onboarding, writing SOPs and documentation, and coordinating across teams.
  2. Oct 2024 – Oct 2026Finance SecretaryOWASP Student Chapter, TIETOwned the chapter's finances single-handedly, with no support team: budgeting, records, reporting and approvals. Coordinated events with 1,000+ participants and 1,700+ registrations across content, logistics and tech teams, and handled sponsorship outreach and vendor communication. Spotted an error-prone manual expense process and built a web app to replace it.
  3. Nov 2024 – Jun 2025Team MemberMechatronics and Robotics Society, TIETSensor integration and PCB design and testing for hardware prototypes, working with the electrical and software teams.

The Daily Commit

AI agent · 2026

Agent finds candidates while recruiters rest

An end-to-end LLM pipeline built as a real internship deliverable. It turns a job description into a scorecard, finds candidates with Exa, filters them in cost-saving tiers and returns a ranked, research-backed shortlist.

Impact: Turns hours of manual sourcing into a ranked, research-backed shortlist, with tiered filtering to keep AI costs low.

Machine learning · 2025

Intruders caught with 98% accuracy

GPU-accelerated intrusion detection on 2.8 million network records: 98.22% accuracy and 0.9989 AUC-ROC, exported to ONNX at a sixteenth of the size and 0.014 ms per sample, ready for the edge.

Impact: Real-time threat detection that's small and fast enough to run on edge devices.

Jewellery house opens its shop online

The live store for Riaura Jewellery, built hands-on in JavaScript. I learned the language by shipping it. In progress: a full PERN rebuild in TypeScript with one-time-code login, Razorpay checkout and an admin panel.

Impact: A real store serving real customers, built and shipped end to end.
