Abstract—Sanjay Bhandari designs and builds embedded and distributed systems, with a working focus on wireless sensor networks, autonomous field nodes, and low-power communication for environments where connectivity and terrain make things hard. His work moves from firmware and hardware integration up through networking and system-level autonomy, documented at each stage rather than presented only as a finished result.
Index Terms—embedded systems, wireless networking, distributed systems, robotics, autonomous systems, low-power design
I. Overview
Currently completing +2 Science (Physical Group) at GoldenGate International College, Nepal. Working toward a career in avionics and hardware-level engineering, with an undergraduate path in electronics or mechanical engineering followed by graduate research.
II. Technical Focus
Primary technical progression: C, embedded firmware, and RTOS concepts, moving into wireless networking, embedded Linux, and distributed/autonomous systems. Python is used as a supporting tool for automation, data analysis, and experiment tooling rather than as a primary language. Web development supports this work; it is not the primary technical identity.
III. Current Work
Actively testing the HERMES-ATC prototype: the software infrastructure and a basic ESP32 field-node build are complete, and the project is now in a testing and data-recording phase.
IV. Selected work
Two of these are documented in depth. The rest are CV-listed and will be built out as write-ups are completed — shown here as they stand, not padded.
