Engineering intelligent AI solutions.

Overview

To create an autonomous drone-based surveillance system capable of real-time human detection, I engineered a complete end-to-end solution: assembling a HolyBro drone, designing and 3D-printing a custom payload module for NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX integration, and implementing TensorRT-optimised AI models for efficient human detection during flight.

Achievements

• Hardware integration. Assembled the HolyBro drone with a custom 3D-printed payload module for seamless Jetson integration.
• Real-time performance. Optimised inference speeds with TensorRT on resource-constrained embedded hardware.
• AI model deployment. Accurate human detection from an aerial perspective during live flight operations.

Overview

To streamline drone operations and reduce operator complexity, I built a complete ground station that bridges sophisticated autonomous flight and user-friendly operation: a Qt desktop application with custom UI components, MAVLink integration for real-time telemetry and control, and a workflow that executes pre-planned autonomous missions from a single click.

Achievements

• One-click operation. Complex autonomous mission execution simplified to a single click for non-technical operators.
• MAVLink integration. Full MAVLink protocol stack for reliable drone communication and telemetry monitoring.
• Custom Qt interface. Kiosk-style UI with real-time status, mission planning tools and emergency control.

Overview

To address the growing need for automated monitoring of environmental and urban change, I developed an AI change detection system that analyses satellite imagery over time: custom deep learning architectures optimised for change detection, multi-temporal image analysis, and robust preprocessing pipelines for diverse imagery formats and resolutions.

Achievements

• Enhanced accuracy. Custom models significantly improved change detection accuracy over traditional methods.
• Model optimisation. Compression and optimisation strategies for efficient deployment without losing performance.
• Scalable solution. Algorithms that process large-scale satellite imagery datasets for real-world monitoring.
