Working on maturing key autonomous technologies for the future of flight at ArcherBuilt and Demonstrated a Precision Landing System for the UAM/AAM operation environment. For this effort I was involved in- Architecting and building a simulation pipeline using ROS2- Integrating the pipeline in CI/CD on Teamcity- running Data Collection and Demonstration.

• Project: Goldwing (Ground to Air 4G LTE Service)
• Designed and wrote an event driven pipeline leveraging Linux's poll to determine aircraft position. Improved CPU utilization by 50% using block SPI reads and also met the 10ms per sample timing requirement.
• Developed core components of the software system including the hardware abstraction, inter-process publisher-subscriber, interface recovery manager and a polling task scheduler in C++11 on a Linux-based OS (Angstrom)
• Automated build processes of installable software packages and deployment for lab testing using Jenkins
• Implemented an adapter to surface data points for device management in C for OAM
• Wrote a multithreaded server-client Python application for OTA Updates

• MQTT Implementation for Distributed Grid Intelligence
• Designed a standardized network architecture for Distributed Grid Intelligence Applications based on MQTT
• Implemented the system by abstracting each power devices’ attributes as a JSON file and used MQTT to maintain a consistent state across the distributed system

GSM based Pollution Monitor (EnviroBat)Developed software for data collection from multiple calibrated gas sensors, averaged and smoothened out readings. Relayed this data to a SIM300 GSM modem via SPI which passed it on to subscribed mobile alert system via SMS or GPRS. Tested the device successfully around Indian Institute of Science Campus.
