I'm Rajjit Laishram, a Drone Software Developer and Autonomous Systems Engineer based in Imphal, Manipur. I specialize in building the software layer between physical hardware and intelligent decision systems — from autonomous drone software and GCS systems to IoT edge computing and embedded AI.

Currently working as a Project Assistant at NIELIT Imphal (Drone Electronics Lab), focusing on drone software development, GCS customization, drone scripting & automation, AI integration, and project support. Previously engineered enterprise IoT & edge AI infrastructure at Nibiaa and led autonomous drone software development at NAWA (NIDAR Disaster Management finalist with 215+ real-world flight tests).

"I write the code that makes machines think."

• Developing drone software stacks including custom Ground Control Station (GCS) software, drone scripting, and autonomous flight routines.
• Engineering AI integration pipelines and automation logic for intelligent drone operations.
• Providing technical project support and software development for drone electronics lab initiatives.

• Designed and demonstrated a prototype hybrid indoor/outdoor asset tracking system using LoRaWAN and satellite communication — built a simulated monitoring dashboard to evaluate the use case for an enterprise equipment rental client.
• Built a custom AI alerting application with geofencing, restricted zone breach detection, and AI-driven anomaly recommendations integrated directly into the IoT platform.
• Researched and developed MCP connectivity with Ollama for offline AI inference inside IoT platforms — keeping all device data fully on-premise with zero cloud dependency for AI processing.
• Customized a proprietary IoT mobile application for client use, enabling on-the-go device monitoring and control without requiring access to a full web dashboard.
• Engineered a peer-to-peer mesh communication layer for proprietary IoT network use.
• Deployed unified system monitoring integrating analytics, CRM, and custom APIs for platform observability.
• Mentored an intern on AI integration patterns and MCP-based tool orchestration within IoT systems.

• Built a complete autonomous drone software stack from scratch — custom Electron-based desktop GCS, YOLO + Hailo AI survivor detection pipeline (~80% accuracy), switchable RTSP/MJPEG video streaming, and multi-drone coordination logic.
• Implemented autonomous mission execution using DroneKit and MAVLink with multi-GPS cross-validation and custom failsafe routines.
• Reached the finals of India's NIDAR Disaster Management competition. Validated across 215+ real-world flight tests.

• Developed mobile drone control interfaces and engineered mission control algorithms for autonomous flight path execution in disaster simulation environments.
