I am a Mechanical Engineer and Certified CAD professional with over three years of experience in the industry. I specialize in the field of unmanned aviation and have been working as a UAV Design & Integration Engineer and UAV pilot in middle east. My strong areas are 3D CAD design, FEA structural analysis, CFD analysis, autopilot configuration, and drone flight operations. The software I use in design & development phase are SolidWorks & Fusion 360 (for CAD), XFLR5 (for aerodynamic analysis), and ANSYS (for CFD & FEA). Similarly, for UAV testing and operation, I am proficient in configuring various flight controllers, e.g., Pixhawk and in using GCS tools like Mission Planner & QGC. In a nutshell, I am your one-stop solution for all your design, development, and operational needs. I can single handedly lead a project from concept design to development.
