I specialize in developing intelligent, flight-ready UAV and Aerial Robotics systems. From high-speed FPV interceptors to heavy-lift Multicopters and Fixed-Wing Planes, I take concepts from CAD design to fully autonomous deployment.
As the CEO of Mach Alpha, I bring over 7 years of experience in Aerospace Engineering, combining robust airframe design with advanced AI and Computer Vision capabilities. I don't just build drones that fly; I build robotic systems that see, track, and execute complex missions.
🚀 CORE COMPETENCIES
1. Advanced UAV, Multicopter & Plane Design
High-Speed FPV & Interceptors: Designing custom frames for speeds of 150km/h+ with kinetic stability.
VTOL, Multirotors & Fixed-Wing: End-to-end design of long-endurance platforms for surveillance, delivery, and mapping.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Creating production-ready CAD (SolidWorks/Fusion 360) optimized for CNC, 3D printing, and carbon fiber molding.
2. AI, Computer Vision & Target Acquisition
Real-Time Object Detection: Integrating YOLO and OpenCV for autonomous target identification and tracking.
Precision Robotics: Developing algorithms for visual servoing, precision landing, and dynamic obstacle avoidance.
Edge AI Integration: Deploying models on Jetson Nano/Orin and Raspberry Pi for onboard processing.
3. Flight Control & Firmware Engineering
PX4 & ArduPilot Customization: Deep firmware tuning for non-standard airframes (Quadplanes, Tailsitters) and reliable autonomous missions.
GCS & Telemetry: Setting up robust long-range links (ELRS/Crossfire) and custom Ground Control Stations.
Simulation: Validating flight dynamics in X-Plane/Gazebo/AirSim before the first physical flight.
4. Engineering Analysis (The Science Behind the Flight)
CFD & Aerodynamics: Optimizing drag/lift ratios using ANSYS/OpenFOAM to maximize battery life and range.
FEA & Structural Integrity: Ensuring airframes can withstand high-G maneuvers and harsh environments.
Why Partner With Me? You are hiring a Lead Aerospace Engineer, not just a freelancer. I bridge the gap between mechanical design and software intelligence. Whether you need a suicide drone (loitering munition), a security surveillance bot, or a commercial delivery VTOL, I deliver manufacturable, validated results.
Let’s discuss your mission requirements—invite me to your job to see my portfolio of flight-tested systems.
