That battle made the company's name resound throughout the entire industry.
But what I remember most vividly was the drone project that later won an international award.
The original concept came from my graduate research—the core flight control algorithm and the dynamic path-planning model.
Those weren't born overnight. They were the product of countless nights I spent staring at endless lines of code and data, running simulations over and over, tweaking, refining, and polishing every variable.
The first crude demo was built and tested right in my living room.
You could say the soul and framework of that project were engraved with my name from the very beginning.
Through these battles, our company grew from a cramped office of barely a dozen people into a strong and respected force in the industry. Our technical capabilities soared.
And with that drone project, we not only won international recognition but also secured major contracts, pushing the company's valuation to new heights—right to the edge of going public.
The founder, Mr. Arnold Schmidt—Darlene's father—was a sharp and visionary man. He had always trusted and valued me deeply.
