GIIS Singapore · Class of 2027

Building autonomous systems at the intersection of AI, robotics & hardware.

I'm Siddharth Bansal, an IBDP Year 2 student at GIIS Singapore. I build robots, wearables, and AI systems end to end — from a wrist-worn gesture interface to a production opportunity platform used across three schools.

About

I started building with Lego at 6 and now lead a six-person team building a 12-DOF quadruped robot — less about choosing projects and more about gradually pushing what I could make. Now in Year 2 of the IB Diploma at GIIS Singapore, 40/42 in Year 1, applying to EECS and Computer Engineering programs across the US, UK, Singapore, and Europe.
