Hello, I am Kinshuk.
About Me.
I am an engineering student, a tech enthusiast, a music connoisseur and a maker.
​
My passion for creation drives me, whether it is building a music player to appreciate the art or making an ergo-controller to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. Unrelenting in my pursuit, willing to learn anything whilst staying steadfast to my standards.
MY WORKS
PiPod
PiPod is a Wearable music player designed to put album art front and centre. I feel that in the modern music streaming era, album art is under appreciated as it is concealed away in a data centre and displayed on the screen for a few seconds before being minimised. I have long felt that should not be.
​
PiPod supports high-fidelity headphones and In-Ear Monitors for uncompromised sound fidelity. It features wireless file transfer for convenience.
It is completely open source and under a Creative Commons License. It uses a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as the motherboard, hence the name "Pi"Pod.
PiPod was featured as the editor's choice at Instructables.
PiPod also won the fourth prize in the "Make it Wearable" contest on Instructables in June 2025.

Ergo-Warrior
ErgoWarrior is the world's first open-source contoured fighting game controller. It is built specifically for people who currently have musculoskeletal disorders or are prone to them. Disorders such as hyper-mobility, hyper-extension or even Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be mitigated with ErgoWarrior.
​
ErgoWarrior also offers superior comfort and versatility in hand positioning while being a true leverless controller, allowing one-finger throws, quick access to all movesets for quick buffering and precision strings like hit-confirms.
​
ErgoWarrior is based on the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller with a custom daughter board and employs a dedicated fork of the GP2040-CE.

Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight For The Future
The game that inspired me to build ErgoWarrior.
PiDigitiser
PiDigitiser is a low-cost, open-source film scanner built for enthusiasts and small businesses who want to avoid the high price of dedicated backlit film scanners or the expensive cameras needed for area scanning.
​
The archival properties of film far surpass that of digital media, which can be subject to silicon degradation.
​
PiDigitiser uses a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W in tandem with a Raspberry Pi HQ camera, providing scans up to 24 megapixels, making film digitisation affordable.

Academia
2022 - Present
Mechanical Engineering with a Minor Course in Computer Science and Engineering
Vellore Institute of Technology
The extent of my formal academia ranges from Robotics and Statistical Quality Control to Design and Analysis of Algorithms. I have been studying a diverse curriculum with multiple disciplines. Yet my knowledge and skills extend beyond formal academia, driven by a passion for independent exploration and hands-on learning.
