Abdullahi Surajudeen O.

As a Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) Engineer, I specialize in building and deploying autonomous drone systems and robotics. My expertise bridges real-time flight control, sensor fusion (including Square Root Kalman Filters), and edge AI. I have extensive hands-on experience developing low-level control layers and offboard autonomous missions using ArduPilot, Pixhawk, and PX4. Whether you need a custom control skeleton, actuator allocation, or computer vision integration, I deliver robust, production-ready systems. I design mechanical architectures with rigid, permanently fixed arms and fuselages in CAD (strictly utilizing traditional 3D modeling, without VR workflows) and seamlessly integrate them with advanced software stacks.
