Hi!
I'm Raj Nagar, an engineering graduate
interested in developing engineering
solutions with a deep focus on
usability & experience

Background
I recently graduated from
Monash University
with a Bachelor of Engineering having practical experience in
Product Design, Software Development, Project Management, Technology Implementation and Customer Services.
Whilst at university I gradually developed a keener interest in producing user friendly and functionality
rich solutions that can solve immediate and future challenges in our communities. After exploring the multiple
dimensions of Mechatronics, I decided to dive deeper into Product Development and Design where I can harness cutting
edge developments in manufacturing technologies and Machine Learning to create intelligent solutions.
When I'm not typing away on my keyboard, I'm most probably climbing new sport routes in the Grampians, planting
some more trees in my garden or trying out yet another sandwich shop around Melbourne.

Featured Projects
Plastic Sheet Press
My final year project at Monash University. A commercial grade machine that produced 1x1 metre sized construction sheets from recycled plastic up to 30 mm thick. The sheets were designed to compete with plywood.

Metal Fabrication
Excel
Hearing Protection Device
A prototype medical device for protecting factory workers from hearing loss. Anologue sound filtering system paired with an Arduino Uno for user controls and data
representation.
Arduino
C++
Electronics Design
The first complete website that I made from scratch, diving deeper into HTML, CSS and JavaScript in the process. I have learnt and improved my front-end web design skills considerably through this.

Semi-Supervised Machine Learning Investigation
An investigation into the performance of semi supervised image classification and how it compares to the traditional method of supervised learning on the STL-10 dataset.
Python
TensorFlow
Google Colab
Pandas
Obstacle Avoidance Navigation System
A python project running on linux and ROS that controlled the navigation of a robot in a simulated environment with obstacles. The robot was self-driving with this system. Navigation system used an object detection model trained on a large dataset which accurately detected objects at 50 fps. A PID was also used as the system simulated real-world deviations in motor and camera outputs.
