About
Lead hardware/integration engineer on a high-speed autonomous drone for adversarial drone tracking and surveillance, owning the full stack from custom electronics and flight-controller tuning to ROS2 SLAM and GPU-accelerated computer vision. Built a custom USB-based ROS2 LiDAR driver and migrated SLAM from SLAM Toolbox to Google Cartographer, while boosting YOLOv5 tracking from ~2 FPS to ~45 FPS on an NVIDIA Jetson through CUDA/dependency optimization.
Experience
Education
Key Strengths
- Led end-to-end autonomous drone capstone as lead hardware engineer and primary integration owner (hardware, ROS2, CV, flight stack)
- Built custom ROS2 LiDAR driver over USB (SOPAS frames) publishing /scan for SLAM
- Diagnosed SLAM Toolbox TF/odometry issues and migrated stack to Google Cartographer to achieve mapping
- Improved YOLOv5 drone-tracking performance from ~2 FPS to ~45 FPS by moving to Jetson GPU and resolving CUDA/dependency issues
- Tuned flight controller parameters and PID for custom non-kit drone hardware (motors/ESC/battery/GPS/safety)
- Implemented remote ROS2/SLAM visualization via rosboard for network-accessible monitoring
- Used Gazebo simulation and end-to-end testing to validate ROS2 nodes and motion/control assumptions before deployment
- Established repeatable dev environment and collaboration workflow using Docker, shell tooling, and GitHub CI for ROS2 workspaces and Jetson deployments
