About

• Lead the integration of the team’s first module into the department-wide UxV mission controller by managing seven engineers and researchers under Agile principles.
• Coordinate with ML researchers to design UAV data collection experiments for system-monitoring and predictive behavioral analysis models.
• Oversee in-house test flights and coordinate with sub-contractors to gather over twenty hours of varied flight data.
• Manage collaborative projects with university partners to ensure alignment with internal roadmap requirements.
• Integrate novel robotics platform (quadrupeds, UGVs, etc.) into in-house mission management stack.

• Designed and developed a novel ROS 2 framework from scratch to enable platform-agnostic control barrier function plugins for UxV mission control.
• Ensured software robustness with blackbox systems and established a CI/CD pipeline with custom runners and multi-architecture builds.
• Served as the primary contact for team-wide integration projects leveraging NixOS and Docker for the mission controller stack.
• Delivered comprehensive documentation and performed integration testing to validate system stability.

• Work closely with clients in securing multi-agent, aerial systems, moving towards safe, level-5 autonomy.
• Built and deployed quadcopters from scratch running on proprietary flight controller hardware and firmware (a derivative of Pixhawk series flight controllers and PX4-Autopilot) and mission control stack.
• Coordinated experiments to collect over six hours of of drone flight data of normal and anomalous missions to build a comprehensive dataset for training machine learning models.
• Developed and deployed API to inject faults into drone flight controller dynamically during runtime to emulate behaviour under fault.
• Developed and deployed fully automated software-in-the-loop (SITL) and semi-automated hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) framework to collect simulated drone flight data with and without fault injection for randomised flight missions and fault types.
