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.

By day, I'm an Aeronautical Engineer, which is just a very fancy of saying I'm great at making sure things that are supposed to fly actually do. I hold a degree in the subject, so my knowledge of lift, drag, and thrust is pretty good. By night (and sometimes, let's be honest, all the time), I’m a Space Sustainability Researcher. I work along an amazing team dedicated to understanding and improving every aspect of the universe to make Earth and space a better, more sustainable place. We present our findings at conferences because if you're going to lose sleep, it should be for the good of the galaxy! My mind is a wonderfully diverse landscape where designing, writing, singing, art, and yoga all play together. I have worked as a patent consultant, conducted 30+ patentability searches, designed components and worked on deep research across autonomous, software, agricultural, mechanical, and medical tech. When I’m not researching or designing components, I pursue a more grounded (literally) existence as a 200-hour certified Yoga Teacher. Yes, I can pinpoint a flaw in a jet engine design and teach you the proper alignment for a Downward-Facing Dog. My favorite things are Space, Airplanes, Nature, Art, and Yoga. I'm an eternal learner, a self-proclaimed "learning artist," and a creative writer on Medium, I share whatever the moon tells me to. I’m essentially a high-learning Wonder Woman who freelances on Upwork, committed to turning every project into a masterpiece and constantly expanding my toolkit. Need help with: Research (patentability, market, tech), Writing (Articles/ Summary/ Research paper/Stories/ Poems/ Creative), Design (SolidWorks, logo, analysis), Presentations (Canva, Microsoft PowerPoint), Video/Image Creation/Editing, Python/MatLab Coding, Transcription/Translation, or just about anything that requires a hyper-curious, detail-obsessed mind? I’m ready to assist with the skills I have and learn the once I don't have, through the process. I would love to help, learn and grow. Let's launch your project!

I help manufacturers, engineers, and product developers transform concepts, sketches, PDFs, and legacy CAD files into production-ready CAD models, technical drawings, and CNC-ready manufacturing files. My expertise includes: - 3D mechanical modeling (parametric and production-focused) - 2D technical drafting and manufacturing drawings - File conversion (PDF, images, and legacy CAD files to clean DWG, DXF, and STEP formats) - Design refinement for manufacturability - CNC-ready geometry preparation - CAM setup and structured G-code generation - Manufacturing documentation and production support I primarily use Fusion 360 for CAD/CAM, technical drawings, and manufacturing preparation. I also have experience with Mastercam for CNC programming when required. My approach is always production-focused. I create clear, structured, and fully dimensioned CAD files with practical geometry, logical organization, and outputs that can move directly into manufacturing with minimal revisions. In addition to CAD modeling, I understand real machining workflows and CNC manufacturing processes. This allows me to create designs that are not only accurate on screen but also practical, efficient, and reliable in production. Whether you need 3D models, technical drawings, CNC-ready files, or manufacturing documentation, my goal is to deliver accurate, production-ready results that machinists and manufacturers can use with confidence.
