GPS-Denied Drone Navigation System

Built a companion computer system that keeps drones navigable when GPS drops — indoors, underground, or in jammed environments — streaming real-time telemetry to a mobile app over BLE via MSP protocol.

The constraint wasn't hardware — it was latency. BLE telemetry over MSP had to be fast enough to be useful for active flight control, not just passive monitoring. Getting the communication pipeline tight enough to feel responsive was the core engineering challenge.
