Computer Engineering @ UIUC
Hi, I'm Pranav Bala
I'm a Computer Engineering student at UIUC exploring embedded systems, computer vision, and robotics. I'm especially interested in building autonomous systems that interact with the physical world, and I share my projects and what I learn on YouTube.
Featured Projects
Projects in computer vision, robotics, and more.
Semester - Academic Planner for macOS
A macOS calendar and task manager for college students that imports course syllabi with AI, tracks weighted grades per course, and keeps all data local.
Roadle - Test your car spotting skills
A Wordle-inspired car guessing game where players identify a vehicle’s make, model, and year from progressively expanding image reveals.
Autonomous F1Tenth Racer
A 1/10th-scale autonomous race car that drives an unknown track using only live LiDAR scans. No map, no localization. 3 laps, 51 seconds, zero collisions.
What I Build
From autonomous cars to local home automation, I build the software that connects sensors, devices, and the physical world.
