KEVIN ARTHUR DE LIMA
I design, build and tune autonomous aircraft, from carbon-fibre airframes and flight-controller firmware to the edge-AI that rides on them.
ABOUT
Robotics and embedded systems engineer focused on autonomous UAVs and heavy-lift propulsion. Engineered a 6.2 kg hybrid-VTOL aircraft running ArduPilot on Navio2, with distributed edge-cloud inference.
Works across the whole stack: carbon-fibre and 3D-printed structures, power systems (6S LiPo), PCB and firmware work, ground stations, and full-stack software (Python, FastAPI, React Native). Has solved real thermal, vibration and control problems on the bench, not just in simulation.
