Titus Braber is a software developer and control engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience building embedded systems, control software and GUIs for robotics and VTOL drones. He combines an MSc in Mechanical Engineering (Control) from TU Delft with a practical background in mechatronics, flight-test management and customer-facing roles, most recently at Greener Power Solutions and previously as Software & Controls Engineer at Avy. Titus has a long-standing passion for robotics and open-source contributions—fixing core optical flow and memory issues in the well-known Paparazzi autopilot project—demonstrating attention to algorithmic detail in safety-critical systems. He excels at finding the real question behind a problem before coding a solution, and has shipped end-to-end releases, investigated flight incidents and led support efforts. Entrepreneurial and hands-on since founding a 3D printing services startup, he is equally comfortable in hardware labs and CI pipelines. Based in the Netherlands, he brings curiosity-driven engineering and a track record of improving reliability in autonomous systems.
Paparazzi is a free and open-source hardware and software project for unmanned (air) vehicles. This is the main software repository.
