Pavel Guzenfeld

UAV & Robotics Software Engineer — C++23, ROS 2, PX4, GStreamer, Jetson

I design and implement flight-critical software for drones and robotics: navigation pipelines and computer vision. Available for consulting and contract work — remote or on-site.

Systems & Libraries

Project What it does
strong-types Type-safe C++ primitives with SI units, dimensional analysis, and fuzz testing — prevent unit/coordinate mix-ups at compile time
behavior-tree-lite Header-only C++23 behavior tree with compile-time DSL and zero-overhead flattened execution
l2-hybrid-protocol Custom L2 network protocol — lower latency than raw UDP for real-time telemetry
gst-nvmm-cpp GStreamer plugins for zero-copy NVMM video on NVIDIA Jetson (Xavier, Orin)
immutable-data-embedder Compile-time C++23 config parser — embed data as constexpr with zero runtime overhead
ucoro Minimal C++ coroutine abstraction for async task orchestration
gst-metadata Composable GStreamer metadata — type-safe, independent metadata types via CRTP
safe-shm Thread-safe shared memory with compile-time allocation
image-shm-dblbuf Double-buffered shared memory optimized for video frames
v4l2 Video for Linux 2 based video source adapter in C++

Navigation & Robotics

Project What it does
fiber-nav-sim GPS-denied VTOL navigation — fiber optic + monocular vision fusion, PX4 + Gazebo + ROS 2
linalg3d 3D linear algebra for flight path and attitude calculations
image-to-body-math Camera-to-body coordinate transforms — C++23 header-only + Python (nanobind, zero-copy NumPy)
ros2-gst-meta ROS 2 ↔ GStreamer metadata bridge for vision pipelines
geoslice Geospatial terrain slicing utilities

DevOps & Tooling

Project What it does
standard Reusable GitHub Actions for C++/Python — diff-aware linting, SAST, sanitizers, fuzzing
mcp-media-forge MCP server for generating presentations, diagrams, and charts from Markdown
gemini-mcp MCP server exposing Google Gemini as tools for Claude Code
notebooklm-mcp MCP server for Google NotebookLM — notebooks, sources, chat, artifacts, research
ros2-alpine Minimal ROS 2 on Alpine Linux — lightweight container for edge deployment
ai-cpp-course C++ course for AI developers — nanobind, CUDA, profiling-driven optimization
