Several PoC Projects -Ledd the company team for the GEEKWEEK cybersecurity event, participating in both red and blue team activities. This included offensive penetration testing of a private 5G network (Nokia), and defensive strategies where global pentesters attempted to breach the system I developed for remote drone operation (InDroPilot). - Conducted several research projects with ISED on building a drone-enabled system to detect radio/microwave interference in real-time, utilizing trilateration. - Designed redundant communication system utilizing SATCOM, Cellular, and RC for BVLOS drones for IRAP (Industrial Research Assistance Program).

As a R&D Engineer and Project lead Successfully developed a drone delivery system over 5G/LTE for remote package delivery in complex operations. This system supports both autonomous and manual operations for the drone and payload in real-time. Additionally, I worked on and planned an autonomous drone launch station. This station is designed to launch, land pad, and charge drones automatically and autonomously, preparing it for remote drone delivery operations.

Developed a drone system designed to scan the cellular (5G/LTE) networks in an area to identify weak or dead zones. The system feeds the results in real-time and visualizes them for easy interpretation and action.

As a R&D Engineer and Project lead BVLOS Drone Operated Over 5G/Cellular Network With Realtime 4K Video Stream & Command/Control - Successfully led and delivered Project NERDs, which involved building and developing a state-of-the-art 5G/LTE-enabled heavy-lift RPAS/Drone for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. This drone is capable of streaming real-time 4K video with sub-50ms latency and includes sensors for FPV/RTK for both manual and autonomous operations. The drone was successfully flown over Ericsson's private 5G network (ENCQOR) and ROGERS' commercial network. - Developed a novel collision avoidance system that integrates with the RPAS/Drone flight controller for real-time operations, with the ability to communicate bi-directionally with aircraft in the vicinity directly from the drone. - Created a Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithm to stream raw 4K video (from a Sony DSLR payload) in real-time with approximately 50ms latency and Full HD cameras to deliver crystal clear footage.

Successfully delivered a Proof of Concept (POC) for a warehouse drone designed to track and scan package barcodes for warehouse asset management. This system allows for automatic barcode scanning and feeds the data into a database in real-time over a 5G/Cellular network.

Integrated and developed a 5G/LTE-enabled TeleOp system on UGV robots, utilizing NVIDIA Jetson hardware. This system is ready for Machine Learning applications, leveraging CUDA cores for optimal performance.

Led and mentored student projects across various domains including software, engineering, robotics, and cybersecurity, utilizing the Project Management Institute (PMI) methodology.

- Designed and installed backbone networks, utilizing both fiber optics and wireless networks. - Designed and installed physical security management systems, including CCTV, access control, and intrusion detection systems. - Assisted in the design and installation of data centers and NOC/SOC in accordance with international and cybersecurity standards. The project budget was approximately US$2 million. - Performed cybersecurity audits to ensure compliance with standards such as NIST, ISO27001, and SANS. - Designed and installed network infrastructure, including all related server/terminal configurations (Cisco, Linux, Windows domains, etc.).

- Designed, installed, and commissioned an off-grid solar (monocrystalline) PV system distributed over a 100 km2 area. The project was executed in accordance with IEC International Standards. - Integrated system monitoring with a SCADA system and IIoT. The project budget was approximately US$1 million. - Planned, designed, installed, and commissioned a turnkey SCADA project to monitor and control field devices/sensors. This also included monitoring field PLC units (RTU) and communicating them back to the Main Control Center (MCC) using a combination of comms backbone, wireless, and fiber optic network with different network topologies. - The MCC was designed and built in accordance with data center standards, including both cybersecurity and safety. - Integrated cybersecurity within the project design for OT/IT, ensuring compliance with NERC CIP and NIST standards. - Utilized technology from Allen Bradley/Rockwell, Prosoft, Ubiquiti, and FactoryTalk, as well as Microsoft. The project budget was approximately US$2.4 million.

- Led several innovative projects, including aerial surveys and ISR and monitoring using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for 3D imagery, photogrammetry, and more. - Installed and integrated several Robot arm manipulators (Kuka) in a factory to automate the production line. - Conducted cybersecurity audits for enterprise-level organizations, network and infrastructure, for several IT/OT systems. - Oversaw cybersecurity measures and ensured compliance with standards such as NIST, ISO27001, and SANS. - Developed dashboards and Business Intelligence data visualization to track, manage, and control engineering processes. - Developed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the engineering/project department. - Developed and integrated a document management system (DMS) for the internal use and integrated to SAP.
