Highlights at a Glance
Experience/Knowledge
I have experience across the full stack, from React and Next.js frontends to Go and Node.js backends, as well as embedded and hardware integration work — and I take projects all the way to deployment, containerizing services with Docker, automating CI/CD pipelines with Drone CI, and running them behind Caddy on Linux.
I have experience working with languages and technologies such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Python, C/C++, SQL, React, Next.js, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Zustand, Ant Design, and Fluent UI.
I have experience building backend services with Node.js, Express.js, Go (Echo), Flask and Java / Spring Boot, exposing REST APIs, gRPC, WebSocket and MQTT interfaces.
I have experience with databases and CMS platforms like PostgreSQL, Supabase, MongoDB, PocketBase, SQLite, and Strapi.
I have also built mobile and desktop applications using React Native, Flutter, Zalo Mini App, Tauri, and ElectronJS.
On the DevOps side, I use Git, Docker, Caddy, Drone CI, and Linux/WSL day to day.
I work hands-on with defence-grade C-UAS hardware: Echodyne EchoShield & EchoGuard radars, Marduk Piraya passive EO/IR trackers, ST Engineering's S1000 RF drone decoder, SDRs and RF jammers. I integrate them through the SAPIENT (BSI Flex 335) open standard, and I also work with embedded boards such as STM32, ESP32 and M5Stack.
On the AI side, I work on the AI Fusion and Drone Detection pipeline for C-UAS, Vaidio™ face recognition for identity verification, YOLOv8 object detection and AI agents.
I hold an IELTS 6.5 certificate, took part in the Google Solution Challenge (2021 & 2023), and earned a Certificate of Achievement at the BUILD-IT Innovation & Entrepreneurship Challenge (2023).
Work Experience
ST Engineering | SOFTWARE ENGINEER - C2 SYSTEMS & HARDWARE INTEGRATION
06/2025 - PresentI build the command-and-control (C2) software for AGIL® Counter Drone, ST Engineering's scalable, multi-layered, AI-driven counter-drone system built around a Detect → Decide → Disrupt → Destroy concept. My work spans the full stack, from C/C++ interfaces for radars, RF decoders and EO/IR trackers up to the 3D operator console. The systems are delivered to defence and critical-infrastructure customers in the UAE and Japan.

AGIL® Counter Drone — Central Command & Control Center
- Built the operator console and live 3D GIS common operating picture with React and Cesium (Blender-modelled 3D assets) on Go (Echo) services, smoothly rendering 1,000+ live aerial tracks.
- Designed the software architecture connecting sensors, embedded devices, backend services and effectors into one unified C2 interface for real-time monitoring, coordination and system control.
- Developed real-time data pipelines over REST, WebSocket, gRPC and MQTT, ingesting 10,000+ messages/sec across the C2 system.
- Contributed to the AI Fusion pipeline and Drone Detection module, correlating AI-generated targets with multi-sensor data for identification, threat assessment and tracking.
Multi-Sensor Integration & SAPIENT Interoperability
- Implemented C/C++ and Python hardware interfaces for radars, RF sensors, SDRs, EO/IR trackers and jammers, processing high-frequency telemetry with sub-10 ms latency.
- Integrated Echodyne EchoShield and EchoGuard radars and the Marduk Piraya passive EO/IR tracker, alongside ST Engineering's own S1000 AI/ML RF drone decoder, into the C2 track picture.
- Built interoperability services around the SAPIENT open standard (BSI Flex 335), so heterogeneous third-party sensors can plug into the C2 system.
Protocol Jammer — SDR-Based RF Analysis & Targeted Interference
- Developed SDR pipelines for I/Q signal acquisition, digital signal processing, demodulation and protocol analysis.
- Worked with RF link characteristics, including packet structures, synchronisation and frequency-hopping behaviour, to enable targeted, protocol-aware interference.
- Tackled system-level challenges in full-duplex RF operation: TX/RX isolation, filtering and self-interference management.
- Built the software integration between RF hardware, embedded systems and higher-level C2 control applications.
