Led end-to-end system integration and validation for an industry-funded multi-sensor tracking system for Victorian forestry operations at Federation University Australia, owning cross-discipline integration across mechanical, electrical, and software teams from specification through field qualification.
- Specified, procured, and integrated the complete sensor-actuator chain: thermal cameras, laser range finders, gimbal systems, embedded controllers, and GNSS modules; validated through structured lab and field testing
- Developed telemetry and command interfaces for real-time thermal video streaming and target data exchange between onboard systems and the ground control station
- Developed gimbal control algorithms, AI-powered object detection, and target localisation through sensor fusion (laser + GNSS)
Achievement: Delivered a complete integrated tracking system with autonomous target following and real-time telemetry, successfully qualified through field testing at an operational plantation.
