Asad M.

I do UAV design and drone design for multirotor, FPV, VTOL and fixed-wing aircraft, from the first CAD sketch to a tuned, flight-tested prototype. Aerospace engineer, 7+ years, Top Rated Plus with 100% job success. I run Mach Alpha, a UAV engineering company, so I can handle a project end to end: design, analysis, build support, flight controller setup, and the AI/vision side if you need it. Design & engineering - Drone and UAV airframe design: quadcopter, hexa/octocopter, heavy-lift, cargo, FPV, VTOL and fixed-wing - 3D CAD and 2D manufacturing drawings in SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and CATIA - Design for manufacturing (DFM): carbon fiber layups and molds, CNC parts, 3D printing - FEA: static, modal and vibration analysis, high-G and landing loads - CFD: aerodynamics, drag reduction, propeller and airfoil studies (ANSYS, OpenFOAM) - Thermal analysis for electronics, motors and battery packs - Motor, prop and battery sizing, weight budgets, flight time and range estimates Flight control - PX4 and ArduPilot setup, tuning and custom firmware, including quadplanes and tailsitters - Betaflight for FPV, ELRS/Crossfire links, ground station setup - Simulation in Gazebo, AirSim and X-Plane before the first flight AI & data - Computer vision: object detection and tracking (YOLO, OpenCV), precision landing, obstacle avoidance - Edge deployment on Jetson and Raspberry Pi 5 + Hailo - Machine learning on custom datasets - Data analysis: flight logs, test and sensor data, Python and MATLAB Some recent work: a cargo eVTOL UAV, a firefighting multicopter, a payload-drop drone, a Jetson DeepStream video pipeline for an HDZero FPV drone, and a Raspberry Pi 5 + Hailo vision pipeline. If you have a drone idea, a design that needs checking, or a prototype that won't fly right, send me the details. I usually reply within a few hours.
