Hey everyone,
My name is a Sahil and I am a Mechatronics Engineer and a co-founder/CEO of Elite Robotics. A hardware startup based in regional Australia that focuses on commercial applications for Autonomous Vehicle Technology (AVT). I will talk more about my startup and my experiences in later posts but for now I just wanted to let you know why I am starting this blog and what you can expect from me throughout this series.
So far I have been on this startup journey for a little over 12 months, but my real journey began WELL before that. See I have always had this ambition that I would one day be involved in building revolutionary technology that will have a positive impact on peoples lives. I was fascinated by technology, how it has changed the world and how we interact with each other. This fascination has been with me my entire life. I remember completing an assignment when I was 9 or 10 years old where we had to write down some facts about our self, including what we are going to be when we grow up. I remember writing down 'injuneer'. Yep I was so young I didn't even know how to spell the word engineer let alone know what an engineer actually did.
Since then I have learnt what an engineer was and found out that it was exactly what I wanted to do. This lead me to start a degree in Mechanical Engineering. A year into my degree I learnt how to code and learnt about electrical systems. I soon realised that I had a new calling, Mechatronics. I switched degrees after I realised that this was the future. The world was becoming automated and completing this degree would give me the skills to work on cutting edge new technology. Through my studies I learnt A LOT about autonomous vehicles and how they work and that is what led me to begin my startup.
Through my entire life I have had the privilege of being through many challenging experiences, not only in my professional life but my personal life as well. I want to write these posts to tell you all a bit about my life. But also I believe through these unique set of experiences I have some value to offer to those of you that are interested in building the life of your dreams. So join me on my journey and let us figure out what truths we can uncover together!
Peace
