I build software for drones and AI agents.
Mechanical engineer from IIT (BHU). I build flight-log analysis and fleet tools for drone operators, AI products like ReBloom, and open-source tools that AI agents can drive. My background is in PX4 and fault-tolerant flight control.

Writing
What building drones, software and a company is teaching me about working with AI and leading people.
Is AI Really Helping Us?
Most of the software on this site was built with AI coding tools. This is what that has taught me about where AI helps, where it quietly hurts, and why I give it four parts of the work in ten and keep the six that decide.

What a True Leader Should Be
A title does not make anyone a leader. What leading a student club, working on a competition team and co-founding a drone company have taught me about the kind of leader people actually choose to follow.

Selected work
Drone software, AI products and open-source tools I have built.
- Software2026
Palmier Pro for Linux
A multi-track video editor for Linux that AI agents can drive. Every edit is an MCP tool, so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and the built-in agent chat work on the same timeline the user does.
- C++20
- Qt 6
- Vulkan
- FFmpeg
- Software2026
Codex Azure
A fork of OpenAI's Codex CLI with first-class Azure OpenAI support, in-chat provider management and bounded subagent workers, kept in sync with a fast-moving upstream.
- Rust
- Ratatui
- Tokio
- Azure OpenAI
- Robotics2024
Quadrotor Fault-Tolerant Control
Fault-tolerant control in PX4 that recovers a quadrotor from a single motor failure and lands it with low drift. Helped IIT BHU finish in the top 10 of 23 IITs.
- PX4
- Gazebo
- C++
- EKF2

Pawaac Analyzer
A flight-log analysis product that explains what happened in a drone sortie, scores the tune, and gives operators a replay with an evidence-backed next step.
- FastAPI
- React
- Three.js
- Tailwind
- AI Products2026
ReBloom
Turns a blog post URL into platform-ready content for X, LinkedIn, newsletters, carousels and video hooks.
- Next.js
- Supabase
- Tailwind
- Azure OpenAI
- Robotics2024 to present
AeroVLA
A vision-language mission planner that turns natural-language requests into drone flight paths, planning 6.5x faster than a manual workflow.
- Python
- Vision-language models
- ArduPilot Mission Planner
- K-NN
Experience
2025 – Present
Co-founder · PAWAAC Drones
Co-founded the company after my internship. I build its software, including Pawaac Analyzer for flight-log analysis and the fleet operations platform.
May – Jul 2025
UAV Engineering Intern · PAWAAC Drones
Delta-wing VTOL surveillance system: vision model integration in QGroundControl and PX4 tuning for transitions and field use.
May 2024 – Jul 2025
Secretary · Aero Modelling Club, IIT (BHU)
Led a 20 to 30 member club through drone builds, workshops, simulation sessions and technical events.
Oct – Dec 2024
Aerial Robotics Team Member · Inter IIT Tech Meet 13.0
Built fault-tolerant PX4 control for single-motor failure recovery. The team finished in the national top 10 among 23 IITs.
Jun 2024 – May 2025
Core Member · Aero Modelling Club, IIT (BHU)
Taught drone basics, OpenCV and simulation tools to first-year students and helped them through their first builds.
About
I studied Mechanical Engineering at IIT (BHU) Varanasi and spend most of my time where hardware meets software. That usually means PX4, simulation and operator workflows, and whatever bridge is missing between a technical system and the person using it.
At Inter IIT Tech Meet 13.0 our team finished in the national top 10 with fault-tolerant control that recovered a quadrotor from motor failure. Since then I have worked on VTOL systems at PAWAAC Drones and gone on to co-found it, shipped AI products like ReBloom, and built open-source tools such as a Linux video editor that AI agents can drive.
