Profile · the long version
Ram Vikas Mishra
Research Scholar, IIT Guwahati
AI researcher shaping intelligence from data, Python developer fluent in code and curiosity, and a lifelong tinkerer at the crossroads of LLMs, agentive AI, quantum quirks, and IoT oddities. This very website is one of my ongoing projects—handcrafted, under active development, and a bit of a playground. While I’ve packed it with as much original work as possible, you might stumble on a placeholder or two. My Raspberry Pis probably outpower my toaster, and I’m still prototyping a machine that makes coffee before I open my eyes.

What I actually use
Published
Design of Home Automation System with Emergency Control
R. V. Mishra, T. Gupta, V. Batra, I. Kaur
Journal of Scientific Research, Vol. 16 No. 1
Abstract
This paper describes the proposed design of a Node MCU-based Home Automation system with an integrated Wi-Fi module enabling remote control via the internet. The system utilizes a Tasmota Web interface, supports Alexa integration, includes manual control for offline scenarios, and features emergency overrides. It demonstrates reduced electricity consumption using locally sourced components, enhancing affordability and accessibility of smart home solutions.
Transforming Conventional Switching Systems to Cost-Effective, Adaptable, Energy-Efficient Smart Switching Systems
R. V. Mishra, T. Gupta, A. Patel, R. Kumar, I. Kaur, V. Batra
Journal of Scientific Research, Vol. 15 No. 1
Abstract
This work presents a smart automation system for low-usage areas like staircases and parking, replacing manual switches with PIR sensor-based intelligent switching. It achieves up to 33% energy savings, with a focus on affordability and ease of implementation using low-cost equipment. The system aims to improve energy efficiency, reduce grid load, and promote sustainable technology adoption.
Twenty-two true things
01
I once debugged code in my sleep and actually remembered the solution.
02
My Raspberry Pi setup has its own dedicated circuit breaker. Just in case.
03
I know Python, C++, PHP, JS... but I still ask ChatGPT how to center a div.
04
My WiFi is named 'Connecting...' just to mess with guests.
05
I believe AI will achieve sentience the moment it understands sarcasm perfectly.
06
I have more USB cables than friends. It's a close race though.
07
My keyboard layout changes randomly throughout the day. Keeps me sharp. Or frustrated.
08
I talk to my rubber duck while coding. It has surprisingly good ideas.
09
My smart bulb sometimes flickers Morse code. I think it's asking for help.
10
I've automated turning my lights off. Still get up to check if they're *really* off.
11
I named my first RPi 'HAL 9000'. It hasn't tried to lock me out. Yet.
12
My commit messages sometimes contain song lyrics or pizza topping requests.
13
I think in Python list comprehensions.
14
I have a recurring dream where I'm trapped in an infinite `while True:` loop.
15
My coffee machine is probably smarter than my first chatbot attempt.
16
I consider 'It works on my machine' a valid scientific conclusion.
17
The longest I've gone without coding is... wait, does sleeping count?
18
My plants are IoT enabled. They tweet when they need water. Seriously.
19
I measure project timelines in 'number of pizzas consumed'.
20
I argue with compilers. Sometimes they argue back.
21
I'm convinced my cat walks across the keyboard to insert the most critical bugs.
22
My dual monitor setup for the RPi makes me feel like a spaceship captain.
