About Me

Hello!

Portrait of Maxwell Patwardhan I am a multifaceted engineer who is passionate about electronic systems design, robotics, mechanical design, and everything in-between. I completed my undergraduate degree in Colorado, where I was first exposed to electronics design through my capstone project. I then moved to Chicago for my Master's degree, where I took part in a second capstone project and successfully defended my thesis in robotics. Currently, I work as a Hardware Engineer at Atomos Systems, where I am working to help build embodied intelligence.

Other Interests

Growing up in Colorado, I have developed an affinity for all kinds of activities from mountain biking to skiing and hiking. Lately, I have spent a lot of time rock climbing, ice climbing, and mountaineering - I recently went to the Cordillera Blanca and summited Mount Tocllaraju in Peru at 6,034 meters (19,797 feet). I am also an ultra-marathon cyclist, my latest project is attempting to cross the state of Colorado from west to east in under 48 hours. I also love to cooking, piano, chess, and macro photography.
