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.
What I Build
I build systems that combine hardware and software to solve real-world problems. My work focuses on making technology reliable, responsive, and practical.
