Harsh Mittal is a lead software developer and CSA with 8 years of experience specializing in robotics, drone autonomy, embedded systems, and onboard AI. He has led teams building mission-critical Ground Control Stations and swarm-control systems for clients including DRDO and the Indian Army, and contributed full-stack enhancements to the widely used QGroundControl open-source GCS. Comfortable across Python, C/C++, microcontrollers, FPGAs and ROS, he combines embedded firmware, computer vision and backend engineering to deliver precision-landing, multi-drone automation and edge AI solutions. Based in Hyderabad, he pairs an academic foundation from LNMIIT and ongoing MTech studies at BITS Pilani with hands-on R&D, and shares technical learnings through blogs and a YouTube channel. An interesting thread through his work is shipping both low-level sensor/middleware integrations and polished operator-facing UIs, bridging edge hardware and cloud-enabled control platforms.
