Software for aviation and airspace
Project-based software development for companies operating in aviation and commercial drone airspace. 15+ years of shipping code, including software used by pilots and drone operators worldwide.
What I do
Aviation Software
EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) development, flight planning interfaces, real-time data visualization, and pilot-facing tools built to aviation-grade reliability standards.
Commercial Drone Platforms
Ground control station software built on PX4, MAVLink, QGroundControl (QGC), and DJI SDK. Fleet management systems, telemetry dashboards, and mission planning tools for commercial drone operations, from delivery networks to enterprise inspections.
Airspace Integration
LAANC authorization, Remote ID compliance, unmanned traffic management (UTM), and airspace deconfliction systems that keep commercial drone operations safe and legal.
Safety-Critical Consulting
Code review, architecture assessment, and testing strategy for software where reliability isn't optional — from flight-critical systems to autonomous drone operations.
About
I'm a software developer with 15+ years of professional experience, specializing in aviation and commercial drone systems. I've shipped code at ForeFlight (the industry-standard EFB platform) and led development at Skyward (Verizon's drone management subsidiary), building ground control, telemetry, and mission planning software. I hold a US patent for UAS technology and an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate.
I work on a project basis with companies that need experienced, safety-aware software engineering for aviation and airspace applications. Whether you're building a drone delivery platform, modernizing flight operations software, or navigating the evolving commercial drone regulatory landscape, I bring deep domain knowledge and a track record of shipping reliable software in regulated environments.
