Ch Virinchi

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student at IIIT Jabalpur.

I currently rank first in my class, with a CPI of 9.3.

I chose Mechanical over Computer Science because I want to work in propulsion and own the full lifecycle of an engine: design, simulation, fabrication, testing, and eventually seeing it fly.

Alongside that, I’ve spent the last 4 years building real-time software systems in Elixir and Phoenix LiveView, with a strong open-source focus.

Currently
#

  • Building an agentic CAD editing platform where you describe what you want and AI helps build it in CAD, with human oversight.

Engineering and Propulsion
#

Aakruti ‘25 - National Semifinalist
#

My team was one of the top 31 semifinalists pan India. We built a Vortex Powered Hybrid Energy Harvester.

I handled the full technical execution on the engineering side: modeling, FEA testing, and CFD analysis.

Core Engineering Tools
#

  • SolidWorks and Fusion for CAD
  • ANSYS (Static Structural, Fluent)
  • Arduino and basic circuit building

Writing and Project Logs
#

Software Engineering (Elixir/Phoenix)
#

I specialize in building scalable, real-time web applications end-to-end using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView.

Open Source
#

  • LiveTable: a Phoenix LiveView library for real-time data tables with filtering, sorting, exports, and shareable URL state.
  • Sutra UI: a component library inspired by shadcn for Phoenix LiveView.

These libraries have collectively logged 5,000+ downloads from the developer community.

Selected Software Projects

Why both hardware and software
#

My long-term direction is mechanical and propulsion-first. The software depth helps me independently build internal tools for automation, telemetry analysis, decision support, and rapid prototyping around hardware workflows.

I believe hardware and software should go hand in hand for a complete engineer.

This website is primarily where I share things I find interesting - engineering notes, programming writeups, astronomy, and travel logs.
