About this gig

Whether you are designing an indoor autonomous drone, a mobile robotics fleet, or high-rate deployment mechanisms for VLEO CubeSats, accurate state estimation is the foundation of autonomy. Off-the-shelf algorithms often fail when GPS drops out, leading to catastrophic navigation errors.

I specialize in high-fidelity Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) software. I design production-ready sensor fusion architectures tailored for real-time edge deployment, ensuring your vehicle perfectly maintains spatial awareness and control.

What I Deliver:

  • Advanced State Estimation: Custom Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filters (MEKF) and Unscented Kalman Filters (UKF) to handle complex 15-state global attitude quaternions without gimbal lock.
  • Robust Control Systems: Model Predictive Control (MPC) and closed-loop architectures for precision pointing, aggressive trajectory tracking, and autonomous multi-mode operations.
  • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Readiness: Algorithms authored in modern, memory-safe languages (C++, Rust, or Python) optimized for rapid matrix operations and seamless ROS 2 integration.

My Workflow: You provide the vehicle dynamics, sensor noise profiles, and compute constraints.

Need to validate a complex mechanical design, optimize a trajectory, or deploy flight-ready GNC loops? As a former Lead Aerospace Engineer and AIAA award winner, I bridge the gap between physics simulations and robust algorithms for robotics labs and startups. What I Do: - GNC & Estimation: Kalman filters (MEKF/UKF), LQR, SMC, NMPC & Monte Carlo validation. - Dynamics & Trajectory: 6-DOF modeling, CFD/FEA (ANSYS, OpenFOAM). - Flight Software: C++, Python, MATLAB, Rust, & SIL/HIL testing. Let's mathematically verify your design before you cut metal.
