Automated Jugaad To Score High On The Chrome Dino Game Got This College Student An Interview At Google

Sometimes an unexpected stroke can end up scoring big on the field. Something of the sort happened with Akshay Narisetti, a software designer, back when he was still a student at college. He created an automated robotic system that could play the Google Chrome Dino Game in his stead and caught the attention of the tech giant, Google.

College Student's 'Dino Game' Jugaad Gets Him Interview At Google

A few years back, while Akshay was still studying for his fourth-semester exams, he came up with an ingenious plan to program a little robotic arm that could take over the work his fingers would normally toil to do on his laptop’s spacebar.?

We all have spent some time wondering what the higher levels of the Dino Game look like. Akshay though plugged a few wires together and attached these wires to another computer that had the code governing the whole operation.?

It was not just people on Linkedin who were impressed by Akshay’s attempt at his own DIY robotic helper, the project even caught Google’s attention. The software engineer claimed in a recent Tweet that his Dino Game concoction had gotten him a job interview at the prestigious multinational. He announced as he posted the video of his setup, “This Project got me an interview at Google.”

The Software Engineer Impressed Over 13 Million People On Twitter

It is unclear if the SRM graduate got the Google offer or not but currently, Akshay is working with Questbook in Hyderabad. People online were beyond impressed by the engineer’s efforts.?

One user asked Akshay how he came up with the idea, to which the engineer replied, “The idea itself might not be original, but the implementation is, electronics is how I learnt coding. I first coded on an Arduino before coding on an actual computer. I got to embrace the computer capabilities that way. Then rest is curiosity in all kinds of technology.”

Another user complimented the user, “Wow, really impressed. This was the coolest thing ive seen on my twitter feed this entire week. Congratulations!”

While one fellow software engineer commented, “Seriosuly, now I guess I should get back to my Arduino. Once used it to create a plant watering system.”
