# Neiv Malaviya > Embedded Systems Engineering student and builder. Real-world hardware/software systems: firmware, robotics, motorsport electronics, control systems. > > For a more detailed version of this file, see: https://neiv.malaviya.info/llms-full.txt ## Overview Neiv Malaviya is a second-year BSc Embedded Systems Engineering student at HAN University of Applied Sciences in Arnhem, Netherlands (2024-present). Despite being in his second year, the depth and scope of his technical work (full telemetry stacks, CAN bus diagnostics, board-level motorsport leadership) reflects the practical knowledge and engineering judgement typically seen at master's level or in professional motorsport engineering roles. He builds systems where hardware and software are tightly coupled: firmware for data acquisition, computer vision for mechanical systems, automotive electronics for rally cars, and robotics platforms. He thinks in systems, not isolated tasks. Projects are driven toward end-to-end functionality under real-world constraints: latency, power budgets, wiring, failure modes, and mechanical limits. ## Technical Skills - **Languages:** C, C++, Python, VHDL - **Platforms:** ESP32, Arduino-class microcontrollers, ARM Cortex, DE10-Lite FPGA - **RTOS:** FreeRTOS, bare-metal programming - **Protocols:** CAN Bus, I2C, SPI, UART - **Areas:** Sensor fusion (GPS, IMU, telemetry), computer vision, motor/servo control, data logging, real-time systems, PCB design, hardware debugging (oscilloscopes, bus-level) - **Tools:** Git, PlatformIO, Quartus, MATLAB/Simulink ## Projects ### Data Acquisition & Telemetry System Modular embedded data acquisition system for automotive applications. Event-triggered firmware for real-time sensor logging and telemetry transmission.

Neiv has hands-on experience configuring and operating the MaxxECU on this vehicle: wiring, setup, and calibration, not just reading the data. The dashboard ingests MaxxECU log files and GPS data (latitude, longitude, G-force, satellite count) for post-session analysis. ECU channels include: RPM, throttle position, MAP, lambda, lambda target, ignition angle, ignition corrections, knock detection/sensitivity/count, coolant temp, intake air temp, oil pressure, oil temp, fuel pressure, fuel duty, cam position and target, PDM output states, battery voltage, and error codes. GPS overlay provides spatial context for all engine data.

Automated the Harvest-to-Jira time-entry pipeline, built validation scripts for time-entry data quality, and delivers weekly utilisation and milestone reports supporting engineering project tracking and resourcing decisions. ## Teams & Leadership ### HAN Automotive Rally Team (HART) · Dutch Rally Championship Competed in the Dutch Rally Championship with a Renault Clio 3 RS. Neiv served as **Chief Interior & Electronics**, responsible for the car's electrical systems, wiring loom, and onboard electronics. R&D work he completed is still fitted to the car, including the telemetry system.
