Nitesh is a computer scientist, a hardware hacker and a amateur flutist. He likes to build stuff using laser cutting, 3D printing, leds and junk hardware. He has made his own 3D printer for printing with edible materials like chocolate and Halwa using opensource tools. He also works in robotics. As an exchange student, he has worked with Professor Raul Rojas at Free University Berlin, and programmed a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm for a small autonomous car. At IIIT Bangalore, he has worked on programming a collision avoidance mechanism for the prototype of an autonomous wheelchair using bio-inspired collision avoiding behavior of a grasshopper.
