EEE @ Imperial College London
Hi, I'm
Intishar.
An ardent learner and maker. Building at the intersection of hardware, code, and creativity. Based in East London 📍

About me
A dedicated
engineering student
4th-year EEE student at Imperial College London. My desire to learn spans Python, C++, embedded systems, web development, and hardware integration — from building PCBs in Altium to deploying ML models.
Multilingual in English, Bengali, and Italian. Freelance PCB designer.
What I've built
Projects

Smart Grid System
Solar energy system achieving 25% efficiency gain through PV array characterisation and a custom Battery Management System.

EERover
Self-hosted web-controlled rover with custom chassis, sensor arm, and a full web server built from scratch.

Stock Prediction Model
83% accuracy model using Bagging SVM and Voting Classifier. Yielded a simulated 159% return over three years.

nRF24 Radio Controller
Arduino Nano + nRF24L01 radio transmitter with a custom PCB designed in Altium CircuitMaker 2.
Electronics 101 — LED Matrix
A teaching PCB designed in KiCAD. A BC547 astable multivibrator clocks a CD4017 decade counter at ~1.5Hz, sequencing three groups of a 5×5 LED matrix — centre, inner ring, outer ring — then resetting on Q3 for a looping pulse animation.

Boost PFC Converter PCB
Custom PCB designed in under a week for a Power Electronics module. Achieved 95% efficiency in open-loop control, with closed-loop verified via STM32. Simulated in LTSpice and MATLAB, designed in EasyEDA.

Analogue Frequency Generator
Custom PCB built for the East London Mosque's first science fair. Three MCP6022 op-amps generate Square, PWM, Triangle, and Sawtooth waveforms simultaneously — used live with an oscilloscope to teach visitors what electrical signals look like. USB-C powered, frequency and PWM adjustable via onboard potentiometers.
Sunnyland
A 2D platformer built in Unity back in 2018. Features player movement, collectibles, and level design — one of the first full game projects built before everything went sideways with COVID.
CubeRun
The very first game I ever made. An endless runner built in Unity where a cube dodges obstacles — simple concept, but the project that started everything. Pre-2018.


PCB Business Card
A fully functional PCB designed as a business card. Front features silkscreen branding with contact details. Back packs a Raspberry Pi RP2040, a 16×12 LED matrix, directional buttons, USB-C, and a QR code — because why hand out paper?

Wind Turbine Challenge
Built as part of the Imperial College Makerspace programme. Designed and fabricated a wind turbine from scratch, tested in a wind tunnel. Finished 2nd place — losing 1st by just 0.006 in power factor.


Sonar Radar — Science Fair Champion
Won the Mastermind Inter-School Science Fair 2019. An HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor mounted on a servo sweeps 180°, read by an Arduino Uno and streamed serially to Processing IDE for real-time radar visualisation.

IC Evaluation Board — DCA Design
Built during a 6-month placement at DCA Design. An evaluation board for a proprietary IC that extends coin cell battery life by isolating current spikes to reduce passivation. Designed a configurable load matrix (1mA–200mA), I2C interface for mode commands, and custom component footprints — all in Altium. Routing was critical to avoid parasitic effects skewing chip measurements.


Cube Lamp
Designed the enclosure in Fusion 360 and built a custom PCB to drive four high-power LEDs from a rechargeable battery. One of the earliest full hardware projects — enclosure, electronics, and power all from scratch. Later used as the basis for an ICRS soldering workshop, teaching students to build their own version on veroboard.


Halal Stonks
A stock screening web app built in 2024 to check Shariah and Benjamin Graham compliance for any ticker. Python backend with web scraping via Yahoo Finance, evaluating criteria like P/E ratio, debt-to-equity, dividend history, and market cap. Yahoo Finance's inconsistent API responses ultimately broke reliable data fetching — but a solid full-stack learning experience regardless.

Adafruit Prop-Maker Lightsabers
Built two functional lightsabers using the Adafruit Prop-Maker RP2040. Features motion-reactive sound, blade ignition effects, and clash detection — all driven by the onboard IMU and NeoPixel output. One blue, one red. Naturally.
Beyond engineering
Personal



Bird Photography
Catching robins and great tits in their natural habitat around London. Patience, a good eye, and getting close without spooking them.



Macro & Flower Photography
Close-up shots of wildflowers and garden blooms — dog roses, wisteria, and a bumblebee mid-feed on comfrey.


Landscape Photography
Golden hour mist rising off a river at dawn, and a crisp half-moon shot against a star-filled sky. Two very different kinds of patience.

Crochet Pokéballs
Handmade crocheted Pokéball, Premier Ball, and a mini — all three sizes, all by hand. Proof that engineering hands can do delicate things too.
