UAV & Autonomous Systems Engineer | ArduPilot, PX4, VTOL, ROS2

Need a drone, boat or rover that works on its own and doesn't fail on the first test? I'm a UAV & autonomous systems engineer specializing in ArduPilot and PX4: multirotors, fixed-wing, VTOL (tiltrotor, tailsitter, quadplane 4+1), autonomous boats (USV) and ground rovers. RECENT WORK - 2026 DARPA Lift Challenge: remote flight-control support for a U.S. heavy-lift team (43-inch quad, log analysis, filters, PID tuning) - Autonomous rescue boat, Spain: full system design and BOM from scratch, ArduRover control of a diesel engine's rudder and throttle - Heavy-lift 17-30 inch quads, Cube Orange VTOL, CUAV X7 rovers with dual VESC WHAT I SOLVE - Full flight controller setup: Pixhawk 6X, Cube Orange+, CUAV X7/V6X, Matek H743 - PID, notch-filter and vibration tuning, including heavy-lift frames - Log analysis (.bin / .ulg): EKF errors, GPS glitches, motor desync, oscillations - Mission planning in Mission Planner / QGC, failsafes, RTK GPS, telemetry - SITL + Gazebo simulation to reproduce bugs and test missions before real flights - Companion computers and vision: NVIDIA Jetson / Raspberry Pi, AprilTag precision landing, MAVLink and ROS2 integration - Propulsion and power design: motor/ESC/prop matching, batteries, wiring, BOMs - Boats and rovers with ArduRover: steering, throttle, AIS, NMEA2000, companion computers HOW I WORK Discover → Design → Configure → Simulate → Tune & Test. Every project comes with parameter files, logs and a test report. I offer remote support during your test flights and sea trials. Send me your vehicle, flight controller and the problem you're seeing, and I'll tell you the fastest way to fix it.
