About Punit

Punit, an Engineer with a passion for innovation.

Hello! I’m Punit, and by day, I’m an engineer at SAP where I tackle challenging problems that involve building applications, creating robust infrastructures, and exploring the exciting world of machine learning. When I’m not coding, I delve into the ever-evolving landscape of web3, tinker with blockchain technologies, and explore the possibilities of open hardware. I’m also a huge fan of “pi-net” projects, and I can often be found tinkering with Wi-Fi routers, analyzing data packets, and experimenting with various electrical devices. My academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) from the University of California, Berkeley (Go Bears!), class of 2012. My furry companion and partner-in-crime throughout these adventures is my beloved dog, Pepper, or as I affectionately call him, Mr. Pepper.
