55lb autonomous drones over African savannahs and the Amazon rainforest. Satellite-linked edge compute at 200km range. Live software updates on flying hardware. I build systems that work where nothing else does.
I connect layers that most people treat as separate disciplines. Hardware, firmware, backend, frontend, operations, deployment — end to end. The real problems live in the seams between these layers.
500+ hours flying 55lb+ drones beyond visual line of sight. 200km+ single flights across African savannahs and the Amazon rainforest. Extreme heat, heavy rain, zero infrastructure. What we're calling the most advanced civil drone — Starlink satcom, not LTE.
Built the software stack running on the Jetson inside the drone. Live updates to flying hardware — where getting it wrong isn't a bug report, it's a crash. Designed the cloud data pipeline for autonomous collection, feeding ML models downstream.
Satellite tracking and orbital mechanics. Conjunction screening for 30,000+ objects. The drone-to-space transition is natural — same problems at different altitude. Constrained hardware, degraded links, can't touch it once it's up.
Designed the autonomous data collection pipeline — drone connects to cloud, data flows to storage, later consumed by ML. Self-hosted systems, edge-to-cloud architecture, Cloudflare Workers at the edge.
Open-source tools, real-time applications, and systems that run 24/7 on a $250 computer.
Real-time 3D satellite tracker. 30,000+ objects rendered on a WebGL globe with live orbital propagation. SGP4 in the browser, updated daily from Space-Track.org.
sattrack.io →Satellite conjunction screening. Screens 30,000+ objects daily for collision threats in under 10 seconds. Open-source Python library with automated CDM analysis.
orbveil.com →Suite of 7 internal tools built in 7 days. Content pipeline, document vault, design system, task management, system dashboard — all self-hosted on a Jetson Orin Nano.
autmori.com →Flight analysis platform for autonomous eVTOL operations. ArduPilot log parsing, energy efficiency metrics, multi-mission fleet analytics. Built for 19Labs.
GitHub →Building and operating what we're calling the most advanced civil drone. 55lb+ eVTOL with Starlink satcom, 200km+ range, fully autonomous BVLOS. Thousands of km flown across savannahs and rainforests. Designed the cloud data pipeline for autonomous collection and ML. Built the Jetson software stack that flies onboard — including live updates mid-flight.
Working with AI since early 2023 — before ChatGPT was mainstream. Built various applications leveraging LLMs for automation, content, and system orchestration. Currently using voice-driven AI development to ship 7 production applications in 7 days on a $250 computer.
Open-source space intelligence. OrbVeil screens 30,000+ objects daily for collision threats. SatTracker renders every active satellite in real-time 3D. The drone-to-satellite transition is natural — same constrained hardware, same degraded links, same "can't touch it once it's up" problem.
Available for consulting on autonomous systems, edge computing, drone operations, and space technology. I work best on hard problems with real constraints.
