Profile
Aviation and Aerospace Engineering student specialising in Avionics, focused on embedded systems, UAV electronics, and
aircraft control systems. I have hands-on project experience with STM32/ESP32, PCB design in KiCad, MATLAB/Simulink,
CAN/CANaerospace, and integration with X-Plane. Familiar with the fundamentals of DO-160, DO-178C, DO-254, and
ARINC 429.
Education
Rzeszów University of Technology 2023 – Present
Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) studies, Aviation and Aerospace Engineering
Specialisation: Avionics
Relevant coursework: avionics systems, aircraft onboard systems, flight mechanics, electronics, automation, automatic control
systems.
Professional Experience
Freelance – Technical and Embedded Projects 2024 – Present
Project-based work / Private clients
∙ Worked on a prototype control system for electric window blinds, including opening, closing, and stopping logic, as well as
system functionality testing.
∙ Completed engineering tasks in MATLAB: calculations, modelling, data processing, and result analysis.
∙ Wrote and modified C/C++ code for control systems and technical devices, identified logical errors, implemented
corrections, and tested functionality after changes.
∙ Performed diagnostics and repair of a DJI Mavic 3 camera, worked with components and connections of the electronic
assembly, and verified its operation after repair.
IT Intern, MTU Aero Engines Polska 2025
Information Technology Department
∙ Assisted with the installation and replacement of workplace computers and related hardware.
∙ Performed basic IT support tasks and worked with internal technical documentation.
Engineering Projects
UAV Avionics Hardware Design 2026
KiCad / STM32F411 / ESP32 / CANaerospace
∙ Designed the schematic and PCB layout of a UAV avionics module based on STM32F411 in KiCad.
∙ Designed a LiPo-powered system with 5 V / 3.3 V power rails, filtering, decoupling, and protection components.
∙ Integrated LiDAR, camera, and flight controller using UART, SPI, and CAN/CANaerospace.
∙ Implemented SWD, NRST, BOOT0, HSE, and VCAP circuitry and routed power and signal connections on the PCB.
Aircraft Control and Autopilot Models 2026
MATLAB / Simulink / Simulink Coder / C
∙ Developed aircraft control and autopilot models in MATLAB/Simulink using feedback control.
∙ Modelled selected aircraft motion channels and analysed system responses to reference and measured signals.
∙ Generated C code using Simulink Coder, analysed the structure of source/header files and execution results.
∙ Compiled and executed C code in Linux/WSL using GCC.
∙ Worked with fault detection models based on residual signal analysis.
Aircraft Simulator with CAN Data Exchange 2026
X-Plane / CAN / CANaerospace / Aircraft Instruments
∙ Integrated X-Plane data with physical aircraft instruments.
