🚀 Computer Engineering @ Purdue 🤖 Robotics • Autonomous Systems • AI/ML • Embedded Systems
I'm a Junior Computer Engineering student at Purdue University with a passion for building intelligent autonomous systems—from drone swarms to computer vision-powered robotics.
I love working at the intersection of:
- 🤖 Robotics & Control Systems
- 🧠 Machine Learning & Computer Vision
- 🛠️ Embedded + Real-Time Systems
📍 Currently building autonomous drones, HIL simulation systems, and AI-driven robotics
- 3-drone system using ROS2 + PX4
- Consensus-based formation control
- Extended Kalman Filter for multi-agent state estimation
- Real-time collision avoidance
- Real-time object detection with YOLOv8 + OpenCV
- Autonomous targeting + tracking system
- Raspberry Pi + servo/motor control
- Optimized flight planning algorithms (↓ 50% planning time)
- Multi-drone simulation using PX4 + Gazebo
- Integrated MavSDK for automation
- Developed safety-critical avionics software (DO-178C)
- Python + C for embedded + data systems
- Worked on verification/validation pipelines
- Raspberry Pi 4
- ESP32
- L298N Motor Drivers
- Sensor Fusion (IMU, GPS, Magnetometer)
