Hi, I'm Varun.

I am an engineer with a passion for building intelligent machines that can interact with the world around them. I am currently at Dexterity, Inc., a robotics startup focusing on logistics automation. At Dexterity, I lead robotic application development for our products, touching all aspects of robotics such as planning, control and perception, focusing on our software architecture.

I graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, where I obtained a Master of Science degree specializing in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. There, I had the opportunity not only to take but also teach courses taken by world renowned researchers such as Dr. Oussama Khatib.

I also spent a summer contributing to surgical robotic technology at Auris Health, Inc., a startup that eventually got acquired by Johnson and Johnson.

I completed my Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India. I finished my degree with a thesis under Dr.Kostas Alexis at University of Nevada, Reno and robotics research at Bhabha Atomic Research Center, a government research facility in Mumbai, India.
