Reliable, professional UAV & GNC systems engineer with aerospace-grade expertise and custom solutions built for performance, precision, and autonomy.
I’m an aerospace engineer and founder of Trufly Aerospace, with 8+ years of experience designing, building, and validating UAV systems. I specialize in Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC), autonomous flight systems, PX4/ArduPilot integration, and embedded software development. My work is rooted in both industry-grade practices and hands-on prototyping.
I began my journey at Airbus Group, working as an avionics software engineer on flight warning systems for major aircraft platforms like A320, A350, and A400M. This role exposed me to the rigorous development cycle required for safety-critical systems — including DO-178B certification, SCADE-based modeling, ARINC protocols, system integration testing, and test automation with Robot Framework.
Transitioning from manned aviation to the autonomous UAV domain, I founded Trufly Aerospace to focus on building indigenous, full-stack drone platforms — from flight control firmware and dynamic modeling to simulation environments and embedded integration.
Some of the core technologies I work with include:
PX4 / ArduPilot-based flight stacks
GNC algorithm tuning (PID, LQR, pole placement)
Sensor fusion (IMU/GPS/Barometer/Magnetometer)
Software-in-the-loop (SIL), Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and Processor-in-the-loop (PIL)
Embedded systems: Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, STM32, Arduino
Flight dynamics, trajectory tracking, fault tolerance
Custom indoor UAV testbeds with UWB localization
Simulation environments using custom dynamics modeling
I take pride in delivering robust, maintainable, and scalable solutions. My work emphasizes system thinking, modular design, and performance optimization backed by continuous validation using real-world and simulated environments.
My core values are accountability, reliability, and transparency. I’m deeply committed to building systems that work not just in simulation, but in the air.
I enjoy collaborating with clients who are serious about innovation — whether in UAV prototyping, aerospace research, robotics, or autonomous systems development.
If you're looking for a developer who understands the systems-level challenges, communicates clearly, and delivers what’s promised — I’d love to hear about your project.
