Huia programme · Solo project
A computer vision system that measures sled position, velocity, and acceleration during launch testing using only camera footage. A markerless, colour-based tracking pipeline replaced the original marker-based tracker, working from standard 30 fps recordings through to high-speed footage exceeding 1000 fps.
2026 · Solo project
A Python terminal application that automates flight hardware characterisation testing, using a Cube Orange+ flight controller as both a control interface and data-acquisition platform. Test procedures are defined in YAML, safety limits are enforced within the hardware communication layer, and a simulation mode with an automated pytest suite allows validation without physical hardware.
2025 · Avionics Team and System Lead
The avionics architecture for UC Aerospace's Huia, a multi-year project developing a high-performance fixed-wing UAV platform. It was built around a Cube Orange+ running ArduPilot, RTK-capable GNSS with a ground-based correction system, and long-range RF telemetry ground tested to approximately 20 km. The stack was integrated and validated on an electric proof-of-concept aircraft, with a commercial off-the-shelf airframe used as a separate autopilot test platform.
