Hi, I'm Siddharth Patel

More about me

Hello everyone, my name is Siddhart Patel, and I’m a man on a mission—a mission driven by a passion for helping others, not just personal gain. My journey began early, starting at age 8 when I first played with electronics. By the time I was 10, I built my first functional circuit, and it didn’t take long before I was diving into microcontroller-based projects, coding, math, physics, and eventually engineering and science.

I’m currently studying Electrical Engineering at HTW Berlin, where I also work as a lab assistant. Recently, I was honored with the Artmund Scholarship for my academic performance and my active role in the university community. You can find more about that here.

In addition to my studies and work, I spend weekends teaching Python to kids in Berlin, sharing my love for technology with the next generation. I do all of this because I have always known what I wanted to do—I’ve always been certain of my goals. I approach life with clarity, dedication, and an unbreakable commitment to achieving my dreams without taking shortcuts. My ultimate goal is to become a scientist in my field, grounded in ethics, loyalty, and hard work.

Project Assistant at HTW Berlin (11/23 - Now)

I am currently working at HTW Berlin, where I have the privilege of collaborating with Dr. Professor Jan Hanno Carstens on the development of an industrial-grade rover and drone within his company.

Python Instructor - Train the Future Academy (04/24 - Now)

I am currently working as a Python teacher at Train the Future Academy. I teach Python to kids aged 9 to 16, and sometimes introduce visual programming to children aged 6 to 10. I also volunteer to teach them how to build robots, as I have a passion for robotics and electronics.

Teaching is one of my hobbies, just like making robots and playing with electronics. My approach to teaching programming, mathematics, and physics is driven by a deep understanding of these subjects, ensuring that my students grasp the core concepts thoroughly.

About the Book

This book is more than a guide to ROS and Python for robotics—it's shaped by my early passion for electronics and problem-solving.

In 2023, while working with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan Hanno Carstens, I mastered ROS by focusing on essential concepts, just as I approached learning German quickly.

This book distills the key ROS commands and concepts, offering a fast, practical approach for building robotics applications efficiently.

My goal is to provide a concise roadmap to mastering ROS, with real-world projects and a fast-track to success. The next volume will cover more advanced projects.
