About me

Hi, I’m Kartik — a curious engineer at heart and a lifelong learner.

​

Since 2013, I’ve been part of the software team at a nanotechnology company in Zurich, and since 2019, I’ve had the privilege of leading that team. Over the years, I’ve worked across control systems, algorithm design, cross-platform development, and scientific UI/UX — often where physics meets code.

​

I started this blog to share honest reflections and hard-earned lessons from working at the intersection of nanotechnology and software engineering. Whether it’s debugging a patterning error at the 50 nm scale, designing real-time feedback systems, or just trying to build tools that scientists actually enjoy using — there’s always something new to learn.

​

My academic journey took me from NTU Singapore to EPFL Switzerland, with detours into AI, machine learning, and computer vision. These experiences, spread across labs and countries, continue to shape how I approach engineering problems today.

​

If you're a fellow technologist, researcher, or just someone who’s curious about how advanced tools get built and used — I hope you find something here that sparks your interest.

​

Thanks for stopping by.
