PRAHALAD TALUR · SAMMAMISH, WA
I'm a student interested in mechanical engineering, aerospace, and embedded systems. Most of what I work on starts with a question, a pile of parts, and a lot of testing.
01 / PROJECTS
Some hardware, some code, and a lot of notes from trying to make things work.

UAVS / ONGOING
I'm working through the practical side of UAVs: electronics, integration, and the small details that matter once something leaves the ground. It's hands-on, and I'm still learning.
02
RESEARCH / MACHINE LEARNING
A project using NASA turbofan data to estimate remaining useful life. I built a single pipeline for loading data, training models, evaluating them, and comparing results.

EXPERIMENTS / MODELS
I tested 22 neural-network architectures using the same setup. The point was less about finding a flashy winner and more about seeing what held up under a fair comparison.

02 / HOW I LIKE TO WORK
I'm most interested when software has to deal with hardware, sensors, forces, or a real constraint.
If I can measure it or compare it, I'd rather do that than assume I know the answer.
The failed attempts are usually where I learn the most, so I try to record what happened and why.
03 / RIGHT NOW
I'm a rising senior at Eastlake High School and plan to apply to college for fall 2027. I'm looking for places where I can keep exploring mechanical engineering, aerospace, and hardware.
