I lead production autopilot software for multicopter and hybrid UAV platforms.

India
Message

At Aereo, I lead a seven-member embedded and autopilot software team and own the flight stack for two flagship UAV products across multicopter and hybrid configurations.

I also own onboard data-collection, logging, and regulatory-certification software used in production drone platforms. My UAV innovation work has resulted in six granted Indian patents.

Previously at Ittiam Systems, I ported Linux BSPs for Texas Instruments ARM Cortex-A8 SoCs and developed kernel drivers for media-accelerator hardware using OpenMAX and V4L2.

My earlier embedded work at RDL Technologies covered PIC and STM32 products for home automation, healthcare, studio lighting, and IoT, alongside foundational inertial-navigation functionality. I’ve also evaluated LiDAR-based SLAM in Gazebo for 360-degree obstacle-avoidance research.
