About

Engineering that flies.

I am a software and hardware engineer working on unmanned aerial vehicles. My work covers the whole chain: electronics and flight controllers, airframe design and the software that runs on board.

I develop drone hardware and software based on ArduPilot and design non-standard structures when a task calls for them — multicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, VTOL platforms and flight controllers built around specific requirements. I write my own flight functions in C++ and have extensive hands-on experience with it.

Since 2020 I have worked as a technical director; before that I headed an R&D department.
