Highly motivated engineer seeking graduate-level roles in UAV systems, embedded systems, flight-control, or avionics engineering. EDUCATION Bachelor of Electrical Engineering School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS) , Islamabad , 2.13 (2026) INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE Dronext Pvt. Ltd (SEECS) 01-Jul-2025 - 08-Sep-2025 During this internship, I worked on the design, integration, and testing of a fixed-wing VTOL UAV, contributing to propulsion architecture, avionics integration, and flight-control systems. I developed and integrated a hybrid propulsion system combining vertical-lift and forward-thrust motors and supported system-level performance validation. I implemented flight-control algorithms and autopilot configurations, including VTOL transition control mixing and PID tuning to ensure stability and smooth mode transitions. Additionally, I conducted bench testing and flight trials, analyzed flight telemetry data, and iteratively refined control laws to improve flight performance, reliability, and robustness. FINAL YEAR PROJECT Ababeel: An AI-Driven Swarming Drone Network This project proposes the development of IntelliSwarm, an intelligent and adaptive swarm of autonomous drones designed to operate in dynamic environments with decentralized control. The system features a hierarchical yet flexible architecture where a primary master drone coordinates multiple slave drones, with built-in capability for any slave to seamlessly assume the master role upon failure detection. The swarm will be built using cost-effective hardware, with a focus on modular integration, real-time communication, and fault-tolerant behavior. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms will be employed for data-driven decision-making, environmental awareness, and adaptive mission execution. The project aims to design, simulate, and prototype a robust drone swarm with scalable, self-healing communication protocols and AI-enhanced autonomy, suitable for applications in surveillance, search-and-rescue, and environmental monitoring.
