Core responsibilities
- Designed and implemented an IoT-based smart agriculture system for continuous soil-health monitoring.
- Integrated field probe telemetry for:
- NPK nutrient sensing
- soil pH
- moisture
- temperature
- electrical conductivity
- Built firmware in Embedded C (Arduino framework) on ESP32 for sensor acquisition and device-side communication.
- Configured Raspberry Pi edge layer to aggregate, preprocess, and relay telemetry upstream.
- Implemented complete data flow from soil sensor to cloud/dashboard for actionable agronomy recommendations.
- Drove end-to-end development:
- hardware component selection
- interface and wiring bring-up
- firmware development and integration
- staged testing and troubleshooting
Location
Shillong, India
Impact
- Shifted monitoring approach from periodic manual checks to near real-time telemetry.
- Enabled precision fertilizer and irrigation decisions from live soil conditions.
- Contributed to a deployable prototype aimed at higher yield, lower input cost, and more sustainable usage patterns.
