PRJ-01Drone system
Embedded Linux drone platform
Embedded Linux system for a small drone: custom image builds, an on-board video pipeline and a ground-side application that ties the parts together.

I write software for drones — from Linux kernel drivers through ardupilot and mavlink communication to the dashboards and video transmission on the ground.

01About
Hardware that flies.
Software that keeps it in the air.
I'm an electronics & telecommunications student who lives somewhere between the soldering iron and the terminal. Most of my time goes into drone systems — custom Linux images, radio links, on-board vision — and the tooling that lets a team build, test and fly them.

02Automation
A factory for
drone software.
Image generation, CI/CD and release pipelines that turn a commit into a built, tested and signed image in a tester's hands — no manual steps, no “works on my machine”.

Image building pipelines
Yocto builds for the drone's and ground station's Linux, driven from a web dashboard to trigger, track and hand finished images to production.

Rapid iteration
Pipelines allowing blazingly fast and parallel builds of whole system for debugging.

Tester feedback loop
Testers report against specific builds, so every bug maps back to an exact image and commit of each component.

Self-hosted infra
Own services and tooling running on a self managed server.

03AI workflow
One engineer.
A whole crew of agents.
I'm a heavy AI power user — not for autocomplete, but as an engineering multiplier. Custom harnesses, skills and multi-agent workflows let me ship faster and raise the bar on quality.
01
Custom harnesses
Agent setups tuned to my repos — context, tools and guardrails wired in, so the model works like it knows the codebase.
02
Skills & workflows
Reusable skills for recurring jobs — builds, reviews, docs — so every run starts from a proven playbook instead of a blank prompt.
03
Parallel agents
Several sessions in flight at once: one refactors, one runs tests, one reviews, one researches. I orchestrate, they execute.
04
Verification loops
Nothing lands unchecked — tests, review passes and real builds close the loop, so speed never costs quality.

04Simulation
Crash it in sim.
Fly it for real.
Before code touches real device, I test it in simulation — physics, sensors, control loops and the link, all instrumented so I can see exactly why system does what it does.

Software-in-the-loop
The real flight software runs against a simulated airframe, sensors and radio link — same code, no props spinning.
1 kHzphysics step
Automatic tests
Each commit ran through the simulated use cases to check if everything works as intended.
∞re-flights
Scenario testing
Wind, link loss, sensor dropouts and edge cases replayed on demand — the failures you never want to find in the field.

05FPV pilot
Goggles on.
Thumbs on the sticks.
I don't just write drone software — I fly. FPV keeps me honest: when you feel every millisecond of latency and every bad filter through your thumbs, you build better systems on the ground.
- SA
Freestyle & acro
Flips, rolls, power loops and proximity — flown in acro, where there's no self-levelling to save you.
- SB
Build & tune
Assembling, soldering and tuning my own quads — PIDs, filters and rates until the sticks feel locked in.
- SC
Field testing
Flying the systems I build. A pilot's feel catches latency, jitter and link issues that logs alone hide.

06Studies
From Maxwell's equations
to the main loop.
I study Electronics & Telecommunications — the theory under everything I build: circuits, signals, RF and the networks they talk over. Lectures give me the why; the soldering iron and the drone are where I prove it.
