About Me
I’m Simone Orelli, a control systems engineer with a strong interest in robotics, applied mathematics, and software development. I enjoy translating mathematical theory into real-world systems, designing controllers that allow vehicles to move, adapt, and operate reliably in complex environments. As a control engineer, I am especially drawn to autunomous vehicles that move and interact with their surroundings, such as drones, robots, and autonomous systems. I like working on problems where dynamics matter, where models are imperfect, and where nonlinear control is needed to make theory behave well on real hardware. Whether I am tuning a controller, refining a model, or tracking down subtle system behaviors, I enjoy the process of making complex systems work cleanly and predictably in practice.
Work Experiences
Professional rotations where I integrated flight software, safety tooling, and systems engineering into production robotics programs.
Projects
Hands-on autonomy builds spanning VTOL tricopters, Ingenuity-style rotorcraft, and racing simulators focused on control and estimation.
Education
Academic training in control theory, robotics, and applied mathematics, connecting graduate research with experimental lab work.

Beyond Engineering
Acoustic Arrangements
I enjoy playing the guitar in my free time, exploring fingerstyle arrangements as a way to relax and express myself.
Collective Energy
Live matches and pick-up games recharge me; the rhythm of a midfield run reminds me how teamwork elevates complex engineering missions.
Strategic Puzzles
I enjoy playing chess and regularly train on Chess.com by completing daily exercises, as it helps keep my strategic thinking sharp.
Cosmic Curiosity
I follow astrophysics via podcasts, documentaries, and books, stay updated on recent developments, and occasionally practice with my telescope and astrophotography.
Open Knowledge
I enjoy being part of a social network where knowledge is shared openly through platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub, and community talks.
These hobbies keep me balanced, sharpen strategic thinking, and sustain the creativity I bring back to engineering.
Let’s Connect
I’m always open to new collaborations, research projects, or just a friendly chat about control theory, robotics, or the latest chess opening.
