Summary

With a strong foundation in Business Information Technology and practical experience in UAV operations and geospatial data systems, I specialize in bridging the gap between engineering, IT infrastructure, and drone-based solutions.

As a Technical Engineer and an Instructor in UAV Operations, I’ve led various technical missions for precision agriculture, infrastructure mapping, aerial survey and public sector surveillance—delivering insights through GIS, remote sensing, and real-time data capture.

My work involves integrating hardware with software platforms, managing mission planning tools, troubleshooting systems, and analyzing data for actionable intelligence. I’ve worked on impactful projects with clients like Newmont, Bayer, and Zipline, combining engineering logic with IT tools to optimize operations.

I'm passionate about tech-driven field solutions, tech that flies, and even more about how we can use it to solve problems on the ground.
