About

Hello, I'm Vikrant A. P., known as hexavik in the engineering world.

As a seasoned Engineer, I throw on my passion for Embedded Systems, Robotics, and Computer Programming. My diverse skill set includes mastery of Programming Languages (C, C++, Rust) and Scripting Languages (Markdown, XML, HTML), coupled with expertise in Linux Kernel Architecture, CAD, full-stack embedded systems (hardware, firmware, and low-level application), Linux device drivers, and Yocto Project.

In my last organization, I have made significant contributions as an SoC hardware and firmware developer, OS maintainer, and algorithm developer in a dynamic start-up, Beyond engineering, I've honed my talents as a self-taught quick sketch artist and enjoy crafting compelling digital graphics and logos.

My focus is on showcasing my capabilities and potential, driven by a continuous quest for excellence and innovation. I welcome the opportunity to leverage my skills and expertise to contribute meaningfully to new and exciting challenges.
