About Me
Hi! I'm Karan Kulkarni, and I'm in my final year of my MEng in Design Engineering at Imperial College London. I'm passionate about AI, Robotics, and Automation, with a deep interest in blending innovative design with cutting-edge technology.
My diverse experiences in both software and hardware engineering have equipped me with the skills needed to excel in developing holistic and impactful solutions. From creating medical devices and wireless charging solutions to working on sustainable energy systems, I thrive on solving complex real-world problems.
Beyond engineering, I'm a passionate musician and audio enthusiast with a Trinity Grade 8 in Guitar. I explore the intersection of music and technology through composition, production, and machine learning applications in audio.
