Deevak Laxmikaant

I'm Deevak Laxmikaant, currently a third-year Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering student at Monash University Malaysia, specializing in Artificial Intelligence. I've dedicated over 3,000 hours to mastering software development, including Python, C, and MATLAB, as well as electronics integration. This extensive experience has allowed me to develop a robust and versatile skill set at the critical intersection of hardware, software, and intelligent systems. Throughout my academic journey, I've consistently blended technical expertise with effective leadership. At Shell Eco-Marathon Team Monash (2022-2024), I progressed from Propulsion Lead to Vice Team Manager and ultimately Team Manager, successfully directing a multidisciplinary team comprising over 80 students. In this role, I managed comprehensive project timelines, engineering design processes, 3D printing, Electrical, and composites, which collectively resulted in competitive and sustainable automotive innovations. My experience also includes an engineering internship at Bufori Motor Car Company, where I contributed to engine research and development, precision metalwork, electrical integration, and restoration processes for luxury, bespoke vehicles. This internship provided me with methodologies and quality-focused engineering practices. My technical expertise spans programming and AI, including proficiency in Python (NumPy, pandas, TensorFlow, PyTorch), MATLAB, and C. Additionally, I possess strong skills in embedded systems, such as circuit design, sensor integration, PID tuning, and AI Development. Furthermore, my mechanical design capabilities include certification in SolidWorks (CSWA), additive manufacturing through 3D printing, and Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA). I hold certifications as a Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA), along with HarvardX Data Science Professional Certifications and the Udemy Complete Python Bootcamp and ongoing ones like Agentic AI, Generative AI, Reinforcement Learning & AI for Real-World applications. "Change is brought to the ordinary to do the extraordinary." This philosophy drives my ambition and approach, empowering me to convert complex challenges into practical, impactful outcomes. Whether troubleshooting intricate electronics or leading complex team dynamics under tight deadlines.

I'm seeking a 3 to 4-month internship (Nov 2025 - Feb 2026) in Robotics, Autonomous systems/AI Integration, or sustainable technology development, to leverage and expand my skills.

Let's connect—I'm excited to explore collaborative opportunities together.
