About the Reviewers
Avik Dhupar is a hardware hacker and technology designer. He has been making and breaking circuits and toys ever since he was a kid. He was introduced to Arduino at a pretty young age, which changed his course of interest in life. He went on to join the official Arduino team, building and promoting Arduino awareness in India.
Currently, he works at Inveno, where he is making an inclusive and easy robotics and IoT platform for kids to learn programming.
He has worked extensively with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and several other single board computers. He also enjoys designing musical instruments, particularly in the Eurorack format.
I would like to thank Packt for giving me the opportunity to review this amazing book. I would also like to thank my parents, who constantly supported me during the review of this book and influenced me to make and break things.
