P. NAGPAL

An interactive 3D workshop — projects, hardware builds, edge-AI work and process, explorable as a room. Built in vanilla Three.js.

This site is normally an interactive 3D room — the text below is a plain-HTML summary of every station for readers and crawlers without JavaScript.

PROJ.01 — PROJECTS

The monitor maximises into a full window. Each folder is a real project: problem → prototype → architecture → failures → result.

LOG.02 — PROCESS

The notebook swings open — the thinking, not the highlight reel. Sketches, dead ends, and the loop that turns them into results. Failures stay in.

HW.03 — HARDWARE

The drafting table tilts up and the build sheets slide in. Desk is for thinking; bench is for building — every LED pulsing in the room is a live board.

FLAG.04 — GESTURA

The vitrine lifts, the dossier unfolds. A sensor-embedded glove that classifies hand poses and reads sign language — sensing, filtering and inference with no cloud round-trip.

ML.05 — EDGE-AI / THESIS

The through-line of everything in this room: TinyML on off-the-shelf MCUs today, custom microelectronics next, chip design after that.

DS.06 — AI / ML

Projected straight off the holo-deck: the data-science half of the story — training runs, honest evaluation, and the tools shelf.

LIB.07 — KNOWLEDGE

A book pulls from the shelf and opens on the stand. Cracked spines, not decoration — the browsable spine list below reaches every title.

TL.08 — TIMELINE + AWARDS

The frames align into a museum wall. Selecting a year lights its plaque and slides out the placard; the medals get the spotlit case.

PERS.09 — PERSONAL

The corner becomes a lit pinboard. Each pinned item flips to a handwritten note — the human side, kept warm and light.

NET.10 — SIGNAL

The phone boots a live feed: the extruded contribution graph as hero, a commit ticker, and the featured repo. The green skyline on the desk is the same data, physical.

GITHUB

UPD.11 — DISPATCH

The teleprinter on the side table — news off the wire, typed out as it happens. Shipped work, experiments in flight, and the next milestones, newest first.

COM.12 — CONTACT

The old wall telephone by the plant, and the brass slot in the door. Ring through — or write a note and drop it in.
