Drone Communication Systems
Designing and deploying video transmission, telemetry, and mesh networking stacks for UAV platforms using OpenHD, WFB-NG, and MAVLink.
Hardware,
meet intelligence.
I'm Dishank Soni — a B.Tech ECE graduate building real-world drone communication, embedded, and AI systems from the ground up.

The work
Built to fly.
Every system I build starts as scattered parts — and comes together as one machine.
Over the air
Drone comms,
Drone comms,
end to end.
Live video, telemetry, and control — streamed from the sky on OpenHD, WFB-NG & MAVLink.
Engineered
Every component,
Every component,
in its place.
From RF links to flight controllers — I work down to the hardware, not just the surface.
At the edge
Hardware,
Hardware,
meet intelligence.
Where embedded systems start to sense, decide, and act on their own.

Where I spend
Where I spend
my curiosity.
A handful of areas I keep coming back to.
02
AI / ML Engineering
Building real-world AI pipelines — from phishing detection models and character-level CNNs to real-time sentiment analysis with Flask and Chrome extensions.
03
Embedded & RF Systems
Low-level embedded development on Raspberry Pi and custom hardware — RF link design, GStreamer pipelines, ArduPilot integration, and SDR experimentation.
04
Home Lab & DevOps
Running a self-hosted home lab on Raspberry Pi 4 with Docker, Pi-hole, Tailscale, and Node-RED — with plans to expand into Proxmox for full virtualisation.
