Robotics & Automation Enthusiast
First-year EEE student at SRM TRP. Building autonomous systems to make humans supervisors, not workers.
I'm Hariharan V, a first-year Bachelor of Engineering student in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at SRM TRP Engineering College, Trichy, Tamil Nadu. My obsession lies at the intersection of robotics, automation, AI, and computer vision.
My mission is simple: automate the repetitive so humans can focus on what truly matters — thinking, creating, and leading. Whether it's software pipelines or physical hardware, I'm always looking for what can be made smarter and autonomous.
I've already shipped two real-world projects used on my campus, trained custom YOLO models, and built AI-powered institutional systems. This is only the beginning.

A smart campus transport system connected to college gate CCTVs that continuously monitors every vehicle crossing the gate. The system detects college bus stickers using a custom-trained YOLOv8/v10 model trained on 1,000+ manually annotated images by our team. It reads bus route numbers via OCR, checks against a live database, and logs entry and exit timestamps. If a bus arrives late, an automated SMS is instantly sent to the manager with the bus route details. Tested and deployed live on campus — built to make our campus smarter.
An AI-powered secure institutional digital approval workflow system designed to replace traditional paper-based approval processes in colleges. Faculty register using official email, employee ID, department, designation, and approval roles. The system dynamically shows only authorized roles — Class Coordinator, Mentor, HOD, or Principal. After password-verified signing, the digital signature and date are auto-inserted into the document. TRP Digital Sign then detects the next approver, sends smart professional emails using Gemini AI, generates QR-based document verification, exports clean PDFs, and securely stores final documents in structured Google Drive folders. Published live on the Google Workspace Marketplace.
