   As a software developer in the HCLSoftware ISD product division, I am a key contributor to an advanced Onboard system for UAVs, focusing on building real-time streaming, computer vision, and autonomous landing systems.A) Onboard Processor (OBP) — Real-time streaming & computer vision platform for UAVs• Spearheaded the end-to-end development of UAV onboard software, integrating GStreamer and DeepStream SDK on IMX8MPLUS and NVIDIA Jetson platforms.• Authored optimized C++ applications for real-time streaming and GCS interfacing, achieving a 36.6% improvement in system performance.• Engineered a real-time RTSP streaming solution with hardware-accelerated H.264/H.265 encoding and developed an autonomous gimbal control plugin for dynamic target tracking, fully integrated with the PX4 autopilot.• Improved object tracking FPS by 50% by implementing lightweight Siamese neural networks (NanoTrack) with CUDA GPU optimization.• Trained and deployed custom object detection models (YOLOv5, DetectNet v2) using TAO Toolkit, achieving over 70% mAP and optimizing them for Jetson devices with TensorRT/ONNX and INT8 quantization.B) Landing Assist Module (LAM) — Autonomous precision landing system : • Engineered a visual precision landing system using ArUco markers and sensor fusion, achieving 95% landing accuracy on moving targets (up to 3.5 m/s).• Developed a robust ArUcoTag detection algorithm with OpenCV, maintaining 85% 3D pose estimation accuracy from a 20m altitude.• Built custom, lightweight Linux OS images using Yocto, reducing the OS footprint by 70%.• Validated system performance through Gazebo simulations and real-world flight tests. Currently developing a UWB sensor-based system to achieve sub-decimeter landing accuracy.• I actively contribute to the team\'s Agile development process, system architecture design, release management, and test planning to deliver production-grade solutions.
