I am a Computer Engineering student interested in real-world autonomous aerospace and unmanned systems.

My background began around electronics and embedded systems, including circuit/PCB production workflows, Linux-based equipment, firmware testing, and hardware-software integration.
After entering university, I have been expanding that experience toward UAV mission systems, ROS2/PX4, telemetry, disaster-response platforms, and autonomous-system software.

I am especially interested in problems where software must work together with flight controllers, onboard computers, sensors, communications, and operators in real environments.

Rather than focusing only on a single software layer, I want to understand and build the full flow:

Autonomous Mission System

Software · System Integration · PM | 2026 - Present

Currently participating in the 24th Korea Robot Aircraft Competition.

System components include:

• Pixhawk 6X flight controller
• Jetson Orin Nano onboard computing
• Intel RealSense D435i
• RTK-GNSS / IMU / telemetry
• GCS and mission-control software
• Vision and autonomous mission functions

My main interest is connecting these components into a reliable UAV mission system, rather than treating flight control, vision, communications, and software as isolated modules.

Status: Passed the 1st preliminary round.

ToBeUnicorn | System Integration / Software | 2026 - Present

Participating in national R&D related to wildfire and landslide emergency communication systems.

Current work includes:

• Reviewing interfaces among drone relays, temporary communication nodes, field equipment, GNSS/sensors, networks, and control software
• Organizing power, communication, sensor, and equipment requirements for prototype integration
• Supporting field/system test planning
• Improving integrated-control software
• API / DB integration and functional verification
• Technical documentation and R&D evidence organization

This work strengthened my interest in unmanned systems that must operate under real field constraints, especially disaster-response environments.

My current interests are centered around:

• Autonomous UAV / VTOL Systems
• Mission Autonomy
• Multi-UAV / Multi-Robot Systems
• ROS2 / PX4 / MAVLink
• Embedded & Edge Computing for Robotics
• Telemetry / Failsafe / Diagnostics
• UAV Communication & Networking
• Disaster-response Unmanned Systems
• Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T)
• Aerospace mission software and system integration

I am more interested in deployable autonomous systems than in algorithms that remain only in simulation.

PX4 VTOL autonomous mission verification framework

Focus:

• MissionRaw / MAVSDK Action / Offboard / RTL responsibility separation
• Virtual FC and mission state-machine architecture
• Failsafe Supervisor
• Command Guard
• Fault-scenario verification
• FC mission upload/download consistency checks
• 100+ automated tests
• Target-estimation experiments

This project is focused on making autonomous mission logic inspectable, testable, and failure-aware.

ROS2 / PX4-oriented UAV mission-system project

Main themes:

• UAV mission flow
• ROS2/PX4 integration structure
• Telemetry and health monitoring
• Guidance / waypoint concepts
• Vision-assisted mission logic
• SITL-oriented verification

This repository reflects my interest in building software around a real flight stack rather than building isolated application code.

Autonomous mission logic and failsafe flow in C++

Includes:

• Mission-state transitions
• Telemetry health checks
• Failsafe behavior
• Command validation
• Mission-control structure

The goal is to model autonomous behavior as explicit and testable system states.

Embedded / field telemetry diagnostics toolkit

Includes:

• Serial parsing
• GNSS monitoring
• Telemetry inspection
• C-based scheduling logic
• Log analysis
• Field diagnostics workflow
• Dashboard prototype

This project is based on the idea that a field system needs not only operation software, but also diagnostic and troubleshooting tools.

UAM communication handover optimization study

Focus:

• Network handover in mobile aerial environments
• Signal strength / latency / network-load evaluation
• Route-based handover scenarios
• Optimization-oriented decision logic
• Quantitative experiment logs

This project connects my UAV interest with communications and mobility infrastructure.

GIS-based disaster-response software

Focus:

• Disaster map layers
• Field information visualization
• Vulnerable-user check-in concepts
• Failure-map reporting
• Operational decision support

This project is a secondary track connecting my interest in UAVs with disaster-response operations and spatial information.

Before and during university, I have worked in environments involving both hardware and software.

Experience includes:

• Circuit and schematic review
• BOM management
• Gerber / PCB / SMT production workflow
• Hardware assembly and inspection
• Firmware modification and test support
• Linux / UART-based equipment
• i.MX6 / Zynq-based systems
• Production troubleshooting and technical communication

I have also participated in aerospace/defense electronics mass-production work within externally disclosable boundaries.

Specific customer, subsystem, circuit, and program details are intentionally omitted from this public profile.

This background is one reason I am interested in research where software eventually has to work on real hardware, vehicles, and field systems.

C · C++ · Python · Linux · ROS2 · PX4 · MAVLink · MAVSDK

UART · GNSS · Sensors · PCB/BOM/Gerber/SMT workflow · i.MX6 · Zynq

OpenCV · YOLO · Kalman Filter (basic implementation) · Telemetry Analysis

FastAPI · REST API · WebSocket · SQLite · PostgreSQL

Git · GitHub · Docker · pytest · GitHub Actions

I use web/frontend technologies when they are required for GCS, control, visualization, or system operation, rather than as my main research direction.

I am currently strengthening the fundamentals needed to move from a system builder toward an autonomous-systems researcher.

Current priorities include:

• Data Structures / Operating Systems / System Programming
• Robotics fundamentals
• UAV flight software
• State estimation and sensor fusion
• ROS2 / PX4 architecture
• Real-time and embedded systems
• Basic control and mathematics required for autonomous systems

My goal is not to separate theory from implementation, but to learn the theory required to understand, modify, and validate real autonomous systems.

and eventually contribute to autonomous aerospace, disaster-response, and defense systems.
