Drone Dynamics & Sensor Fusion Engineer | MATLAB/Simulink | PX4 | UAV Control Systems | AI for Physical Systems

Profile Summary

I am an embedded systems and simulation engineer specializing in UAV dynamics, sensor fusion, and physics-based modeling of autonomous systems. My expertise focuses on building high-fidelity engineering simulations using MATLAB and Simulink, with strong emphasis on real-world sensor behavior, control stability, and system robustness under noise and uncertainty. I have extensive experience developing 6DOF drone simulation environments that incorporate realistic sensor effects such as IMU drift, accelerometer vibration (~30Hz), and barometric noise. My work focuses on analyzing how these disturbances affect flight stability and designing filtering and estimation strategies to improve system performance. In addition to simulation, I work with PX4-based autopilot systems and integrate control logic with realistic physical models to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world flight behavior. I also apply sensor fusion techniques to combine IMU, GPS, and barometric data for improved state estimation accuracy. My strength lies in translating complex physical system behavior into reliable computational models that can be validated and iteratively improved for real-world deployment.
