Sankalp Sharma

Welcome to my humble web-abode!

I am a Computer Science and Engineering graduate with a Master’s in Embedded Systems. My experience spans engineering, strategy, and operations, including working as a Strategy Analyst and in the Founder’s Office at a marine defence technology startup.

I enjoy exploring how systems work, from hardware and software to the architecture that connects them. My projects and experiments have included a MEMS-based inertial G-switch (yet to be fabricated), federated learning for object detection across NVIDIA Jetson Nano and Raspberry Pi, and a network packet sniffer built using raw sockets in C.

Currently, I am exploring low-level programming, Linux, GPU computing, and computer architecture while working on systems for autonomous operations in challenging environments. I am particularly interested in the engineering trade-offs and practical constraints that shape complex systems.

Outside engineering, I enjoy tracking and researching the defence and deep-tech sectors, understanding their technologies, companies, and broader industry dynamics. I occasionally dabble in equity research and venture-related work. I am equally curious about how companies and organisations start, grow, make decisions, allocate resources, and operate. For me, understanding a technology is only part of the picture; understanding the business and organisation behind it is just as interesting.

I tend to approach problems from first principles, enjoy connecting ideas across disciplines, and often find myself going down rabbit holes simply to understand how something works. This website is my little corner of the internet to document experiments, share research, explore ideas, and keep track of what I learn along the way.
