About Me
I'm Raghav Nallaperumal, a robotics engineer-in-training who thrives at the crossroads of technology, creativity, and community. While I'm deeply involved in building autonomous systems and smart IoT solutions, my identity goes far beyond just engineering.
I play football competitively and find as much joy on the pitch as I do in a robotics lab. My love for the game also fuels Offside Kootam, my YouTube channel where I share stories, opinions, and match insights from the world of football. It's my creative outlet—a space where I blend analysis with passion and connect with a growing community of fans.
When I'm not working on ROS-based robots, I'm probably watching a film. I'm a passionate movie lover who enjoys storytelling in all forms, whether it's through cinema or code.
To me, engineering is not just about solving problems—it's about understanding systems, patterns, and people. Whether it's designing a robot, filming a video, or making a pass on the field, I approach everything with the same energy: curiosity, commitment, and the drive to improve.
