Hello, World. I'm
Ananthu Dev D V
Developing mission-critical software for Aerospace & Defence applications, specialising in Flight Software Development, Embedded Systems, Guidance Navigation & Control (GNC), Aerospace Simulation, and Systems Integration.
About Me
Project Engineer — Aerospace & Defence Software Engineer
I am a Project Engineer at Spacelabs Analytics & Dynamics, developing mission-critical software for Aerospace & Defence applications. My work spans Flight Software Development, Flight Software Sequencer Design, Guidance Software Architecture, GNC Integration, and Embedded Systems — domains where precision, reliability, and real-time performance are non-negotiable.
I developed ASTRA GUI — a ground-support desktop application built with Electron.js, integrated with a C++ backend — enabling mission simulation, telemetry analysis, and hardware interaction. My engineering work also covers Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) Simulation, Orbit Determination, Numerical Propagation, Frame Transformations, Satellite Simulation, Technical Documentation, Proposal Development, and Cross-functional Engineering.
Outside of engineering, I go by Sparky — with a deep passion for electronics diagnostics, automotive electrical systems, and bringing broken hardware back to life. I'm also a car and bike enthusiast, and I carry a camera whenever I can — street photography and macro are my creative outlets of choice.
