Autonomous Systems & Decision Intelligence

Raul — Autonomy Engineer

I explore autonomous systems, decision intelligence, and geospatial awareness. My work sits at the intersection of multi-agent coordination, real-time decision logic, modeling and simulation — building technology that makes autonomous systems smarter, more aware, and more capable.

Deep experience across the full stack of autonomous systems — from 6-DOF simulation and behavior trees to real-time geospatial intelligence and multi-agent mission planning. B.S. Mechanical Engineering, UCF. FAA Part 107 Commercial UAS Pilot.
