Projects I can help with

Flight Dynamics & 6-DOF Simulation

High-fidelity rigid-body 6-DOF models with aerodynamic, propulsion/actuator dynamics, and sensor noise; validated with trimming, step/impulse tests, and mission-level scenarios for aircraft, UAVs, and missiles.

Model Trimming & Linearization

Compute steady-state trim conditions and linear models, longitudinal and lateral-directional state-space models from nonlinear dynamics implemented in any language (MATLAB, Python, C++, etc.).

Autopilot & Precision Landing

Guidance, navigation, and control for approach/flare/touchdown; glide-slope tracking, and wind-gust rejection tuned for safe autonomous landings.

Control System Design

Longitudinal and lateral-directional autopilots, decoupling, loop-shaping, gain-scheduling, anti-windup, and robust control in MATLAB/Simulink or Python.

Missile Autopilot Architectures

Classical three-loop designs (acceleration, rate, fin/servo) with guidance laws (PN), actuator limits, and gain scheduling for high-performance response.

Aerodynamics Integration

Integration of aerodynamics data, stability derivatives, and control surface deflection effects into 6-DOF models.

Multirotor & Tiltrotor Dynamics

Newton-Euler modeling, motor mixing algorithms, thrust/torque mapping, motor dynamics, and transition logic for VTOL/tiltrotor in MATLAB/Simulink and Python.

Advanced Control Techniques

PID, LQR/LQG, pole placement, Sliding Mode, Adaptive Control, Model Reference Adaptive Control, feedback linearization, Model Predictive Control (MPC) and NMPC, Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI), Incremental NDI, and H-infinity control.

Disturbance Observer-Based Control

Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) (linear and nonlinear) and disturbance observer-based Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC).

Nonlinear Optimization

Unconstrained and constrained optimization using gradient descent, Newton's method, quasi-Newton (BFGS, L-BFGS), sequential quadratic programming (SQP), interior-point methods, penalty/barrier functions, and active-set methods; global optimization via basin-hopping, particle swarm, and genetic algorithms.

Convex & Quadratic Optimization

Linear programming (LP), quadratic programming (QP), and convex optimization formulations; efficient solvers (simplex, interior-point), constraint handling, and KKT conditions.

Path Planning & Trajectory Optimization

Path planning algorithms (A*, Dijkstra, RRT, RRT*, RRT-Connect); trajectory optimization via CHOMP, differential flatness-based methods (minimum snap/jerk), and Bézier curve or B-spline-based optimization with dynamics constraints.

Machine Learning & Computer Vision

Deep learning, neural networks, classification models, computer vision models for inspection, defect detection, object recognition, and autonomous navigation; system identification, surrogate/aero models, policy learning, and RL integration with control loops.

Client Testimonials

What clients say about working with me

We have contracted Adeel to advise and guide us on our control architecture design and improvement. He was proficient and diligent. Definitely will hire Adeel again!

Upwork Client

I knew Adeel as his team lead in the GNC department at Turkish Aerospace. Adeel is a brilliant controls and flight dynamics engineer who has taught himself very advanced control concepts that are well beyond his on-paper degree and years. I tasked Adeel with increasingly advanced projects and he never stopped surprising me by completing them in record time. Having worked with countless engineers, I certainly believe that Adeel is extremely rare and I am sure that he will do great things. He has my strongest recommendation for whatever he does.

Aseem Islam, Former Lead

UAV and Missiles Development through learning. Highly recommended!!

Upwork Client

Why work with me

Why hire me instead of a generic freelancer?

I combine aerospace-grade rigor with fast, modern engineering workflows. You get someone who can model, simulate, build, and ship reliable systems—not just write code in isolation.

Deep technical expertise

Advanced knowledge in flight dynamics, control theory, and optimization with hands-on implementation experience in MATLAB, Simulink, and Python.

Proven delivery history

Successfully delivered complex aerospace projects including autopilot design, 6-DOF simulations, and guidance systems for clients across the globe.

Research-backed decisions

Academic background with published research in control and trajectory optimization, so design choices are grounded in theory and validated, not just trial-and-error.

End-to-end ownership

From requirements and modeling to implementation, verification, and documentation—I can own the lifecycle instead of handing you half-finished prototypes.

Reliable & predictable

Clear communication, structured updates, and realistic timelines. I treat your project like an engineering mission, not a side gig.

Built for remote collaboration

Comfortable working across time zones and strong written communication, making remote collaboration smooth and low-friction.
