LabVIEW FPGA Developer | RF/DSP, DAQ & Real-Time Automation Expert

Design robust, deterministic LabVIEW FPGA systems for RF, digital signal processing, and industrial automation. I specialize in architecting high-speed data acquisition and real-time control systems that demand precise timing and reliable data integrity — backed by hands-on avionics engineering experience that bridges complex RF hardware and reliable LabVIEW software. The Problem: Most LabVIEW projects fail from poor memory management, "spaghetti code," or race conditions that crash hardware during critical operations. The Solution: I build modular, scalable architectures (DQMH, Queued State Machine, QMH) that keep your system stable, maintainable, and documentation-ready. Core Technical Capabilities: 1. LabVIEW FPGA & Real-Time: high-throughput signal processing on NI cRIO, PXI, and sbRIO targets 2. Digital Signal Processing: spectrum monitoring, signal channelization, demodulation, and direction-finding algorithms 3. RF Test Hardware: USRP (software-defined radio) and Vector Signal Analyzers (VSA) for signal acquisition, characterization, and analysis 4. Data Acquisition & Industrial Automation: multi-channel sensor integration (pressure, flow, temperature, load cell) using NI cDAQ, and DAQmx across test-stand and process-control systems 5. Communication Protocols: TCP/UDP, Modbus, RS-232/485, and interfacing NI hardware with third-party PLCs 6. Embedded Integration: LabVIEW ↔ microcontrollers (ESP32, Arduino) and custom PCBs I work best with teams building defense/aerospace RF systems, or running industrial test stands and process-control rigs that need dependable data acquisition. Recent Work: 1. Diagnosed and root-caused a "self-DoS" latency issue in a real-time embedded biological sampler controller — traced it to a zero-delay wait loop starving the CPU, delivered a written forensic report with a prioritized fix 2. Built a real-time dual-stage motion control and DAQ system (FluidNC + NI hardware) with live pressure-sensor plotting and Excel export, delivered to a hard deadline 3. Refactored a pneumatic test-stand control program into a modular QMH architecture with multi-channel DAQ integration (NI USB-6001) across pressure, vacuum, and flow sensors 4. Diagnosed and resolved LabVIEW issues across multiple industrial test stands, including servo drive programming and a cDAQ-based multi-sensor system (pressure, flow, temperature) 5. Delivered direction-finding and real-time signal processing applications using USRP and VSA hardware Education: BS in Avionics Engineering, Institute of Space Technology (IST), Islamabad Whether it's an RF/EW system that needs deterministic timing or a test stand drowning in noisy sensor data, send an invite — happy to start with a short scoping conversation before any commitment.
