Capstone – Embedded Software Lead

Developed embedded firmware for side-mounted omnidirectional UAV propellers with precise 0–90° tilt and dynamic thrust control, paired with a real-time web interface for remote operation, user-selectable thrust levels, and live telemetry/tilt monitoring.
Integrated a carbon fiber tilt arm into a custom test rig; evaluated structural performance and durability under operational load to validate reliable full-range motion.
Coordinated weekly sponsor meetings, presented engineering progress, managed materials procurement within budget, and maintained project documentation to align deliverables with stakeholder expectations.
