About

Master’s thesis researcher building an intelligent fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance stack for autonomous quadcopters—covering simulation-based fault injection, signal processing (Id/Iq), ML fault classification, and real-time edge deployment on Raspberry Pi with Hailo-8 acceleration. Previously delivered production C++ middleware/microservices at Accolite and has hands-on experience with constrained networking via a LoRaWAN IoT communication stack.

Key Strengths

  • Built an end-to-end, automated fault diagnosis pipeline for autonomous quadcopter BLDC motors from scratch
  • Strong data engineering for high-frequency time-series signals (preprocessing, resampling, normalization)
  • Bridged sim-to-real gap using targeted augmentation (noise injection, scaling, FFT-based analysis)
  • Applied motor control domain knowledge (Id/Iq via Park transformation) to improve fault identification
  • Real-time safety-loop optimization by profiling bottlenecks and offloading inference to Hailo-8 NPU with quantization
  • Created reproducible simulation-driven datasets via fault injection in PSIM and MATLAB/Simulink
  • Experience designing reliable communication stacks in constrained networks (LoRaWAN: packet loss/latency/duty-cycle constraints)
  • Production engineering background containerizing C++ microservices with Docker and contributing to CI/CD test automation
