Purab Jain
I am an Electrical and Electronics Engineering student who enjoys turning ideas into working experiences — from IoT prototypes and cloud tools to thoughtful interfaces and research-backed problem solving.
Building things that work and things that feel right.
I'm a 3rd-year EEE student at VIT Chennai — currently in my 6th semester — exploring the overlap between engineering fundamentals and modern product thinking.
I build things that span hardware and software: IoT systems that talk to the cloud, mobile apps with clean interfaces, and systems that make sense of raw signals.
When I'm not deep in circuits or code, I'm journaling, watching La Liga, hiking, or exploring Jain temple trails across South India.

A few books that have genuinely changed how I think. Hover to see my take.
Short notes on tech, design, and figuring things out.
Good UI is invisible. You only notice it when it's missing — like a door with no handle. How it feels to use is also part of how it works.
Spent 3 hours debugging a sensor that was reading wrong. Turned out it was upside down. The lesson was to question your assumptions before touching the code.
LLMs are strange tools — the better your question, the better the answer. Good engineers have always known that framing the problem correctly is half the solution.
Visited the Jain temples in Thirumalai. There's something quietly powerful about spaces built to last centuries.
Let's build
something together.
Open to internship opportunities, collaborations,
and interesting conversations.
