I specialize in developing intelligent, flight-ready UAV and Aerial Robotics systems. From high-speed FPV interceptors to heavy-lift Multicopters and Fixed-Wing Planes, I take concepts from CAD design to fully autonomous deployment. As the CEO of Mach Alpha, I bring over 7 years of experience in Aerospace Engineering, combining robust airframe design with advanced AI and Computer Vision capabilities. I don't just build drones that fly; I build robotic systems that see, track, and execute complex missions. 🚀 CORE COMPETENCIES 1. Advanced UAV, Multicopter & Plane Design High-Speed FPV & Interceptors: Designing custom frames for speeds of 150km/h+ with kinetic stability. VTOL, Multirotors & Fixed-Wing: End-to-end design of long-endurance platforms for surveillance, delivery, and mapping. Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Creating production-ready CAD (SolidWorks/Fusion 360) optimized for CNC, 3D printing, and carbon fiber molding. 2. AI, Computer Vision & Target Acquisition Real-Time Object Detection: Integrating YOLO and OpenCV for autonomous target identification and tracking. Precision Robotics: Developing algorithms for visual servoing, precision landing, and dynamic obstacle avoidance. Edge AI Integration: Deploying models on Jetson Nano/Orin and Raspberry Pi for onboard processing. 3. Flight Control & Firmware Engineering PX4 & ArduPilot Customization: Deep firmware tuning for non-standard airframes (Quadplanes, Tailsitters) and reliable autonomous missions. GCS & Telemetry: Setting up robust long-range links (ELRS/Crossfire) and custom Ground Control Stations. Simulation: Validating flight dynamics in X-Plane/Gazebo/AirSim before the first physical flight. 4. Engineering Analysis (The Science Behind the Flight) CFD & Aerodynamics: Optimizing drag/lift ratios using ANSYS/OpenFOAM to maximize battery life and range. FEA & Structural Integrity: Ensuring airframes can withstand high-G maneuvers and harsh environments. Why Partner With Me? You are hiring a Lead Aerospace Engineer, not just a freelancer. I bridge the gap between mechanical design and software intelligence. Whether you need a suicide drone (loitering munition), a security surveillance bot, or a commercial delivery VTOL, I deliver manufacturable, validated results. Let’s discuss your mission requirements—invite me to your job to see my portfolio of flight-tested systems.

By day, I'm an Aeronautical Engineer, which is just a very fancy of saying I'm great at making sure things that are supposed to fly actually do. I hold a degree in the subject, so my knowledge of lift, drag, and thrust is pretty good. By night (and sometimes, let's be honest, all the time), I’m a Space Sustainability Researcher. I work along an amazing team dedicated to understanding and improving every aspect of the universe to make Earth and space a better, more sustainable place. We present our findings at conferences because if you're going to lose sleep, it should be for the good of the galaxy! My mind is a wonderfully diverse landscape where designing, writing, singing, art, and yoga all play together. I have worked as a patent consultant, conducted 30+ patentability searches, designed components and worked on deep research across autonomous, software, agricultural, mechanical, and medical tech. When I’m not researching or designing components, I pursue a more grounded (literally) existence as a 200-hour certified Yoga Teacher. Yes, I can pinpoint a flaw in a jet engine design and teach you the proper alignment for a Downward-Facing Dog. My favorite things are Space, Airplanes, Nature, Art, and Yoga. I'm an eternal learner, a self-proclaimed "learning artist," and a creative writer on Medium, I share whatever the moon tells me to. I’m essentially a high-learning Wonder Woman who freelances on Upwork, committed to turning every project into a masterpiece and constantly expanding my toolkit. Need help with: Research (patentability, market, tech), Writing (Articles/ Summary/ Research paper/Stories/ Poems/ Creative), Design (SolidWorks, logo, analysis), Presentations (Canva, Microsoft PowerPoint), Video/Image Creation/Editing, Python/MatLab Coding, Transcription/Translation, or just about anything that requires a hyper-curious, detail-obsessed mind? I’m ready to assist with the skills I have and learn the once I don't have, through the process. I would love to help, learn and grow. Let's launch your project!
