Summary

I am a beginner drone pilot who has a keen interest in technology and a strong aptitude for learning and growth. Through my work as a Research & Technology Engineer, I have gained skills in technology development and integration, UAV visual inspection, and mission planning. I have also gained skills in aerial photography, and manual flight operations through flying my own personal drone. I am looking to apply these skills to create impactful solutions in the UAV domain.
