Amit Rajegaonkar.
I Build Hardware That Ships.
I build hardware people actually use.
Face recognition for MP Police, a live RFID system in my college, and a macropad with real, paying customers to prove it.

// about
I'm a final year engineering student from Solapur. I build hardware because I can't stop — every gap I notice becomes a project I can't leave alone until it works.
I don't separate learning from building. The 3D printer taught me manufacturing. The macropad taught me that firmware is the easy part. The deployments taught me that real users break things in ways you never imagine at your desk.
I'm looking for an early-stage hardware startup where the work is real from day one. Not a guided internship. A real one.

Beyond the code.
Hackathons, awards, and the people I build with. The stuff that doesn't fit in a repo.
