Sahil Chandna, engineering things end to end.

I build software with the same discipline I test hardware — final-year ECE engineer moving into full-stack and AI development.

About

Two disciplines, one approach

I'm a final-year Electronics & Communication Engineering student at UIET, Kurukshetra University, with a hybrid background: I've tested VLSI hardware down at the PXI/LabVIEW level, and I've shipped full-stack web applications with the MERN stack.

That combination shapes how I build — I care about what's actually happening under the interface, whether that's a test bench or an API. Right now I'm sharpening that further with data structures, containerization, and retrieval-augmented generation.

Currently
  • DSA in C++, then Java
  • Docker & Kubernetes
  • RAG / applied LLM systems
Experience

Where I've worked

Hardware test systems, student leadership, and four internships across the MERN stack.

Jan 2026 – May 2026

R&D Intern — MeitY, VTAD Division

Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), Mohali

Built PXI-based automated test systems for VLSI device characterization under India's Ministry of Electronics & IT.

  • · Developed automated test sequences in LabVIEW and TestStand for characterizing VLSI devices on PXI instrumentation.
  • · Worked within MeitY's VTAD Division on R&D-grade test infrastructure used for semiconductor device validation.
  • · Bridged hardware instrumentation and software control — the throughline for how I approach systems today.

Projects

Things I'm building

A mix of shipped work and AI projects currently in progress.

PXI-Based Automated Test System for VLSI Devices (SC9017)

Shipped

An automated test framework for the SC9017 VLSI device using NI PXI hardware, LabVIEW, and TestStand, enabling repeatable, high-throughput characterization sequences in place of manual setup.

LabVIEWTestStandPXIVLSI

E-Cell UIET Website

Shipped

Designed and built the web presence for UIET's entrepreneurship cell, covering both the visual identity and the front-end implementation on the MERN stack.

MongoDBExpressReactNode.js

String Manipulation Library

Shipped

A custom JavaScript library implementing a range of string-manipulation utility methods, published on GitHub.

AI Study Companion

In progress

A MERN app that parses an uploaded syllabus PDF with an LLM to extract topics, weekly structure, and exam dates, then auto-generates flashcards, cheat sheets, and quizzes organized into a week-by-week study timeline.

AI/LLMMERNNext.js

RAG Document Q&A Tool

In progress

A React/Node app for querying large PDFs in natural language; chunks documents into a vector database and uses retrieval-augmented generation so answers stay grounded in the source text with page-level citations.
