06 about

With 6 years of experience in the drone industry, I am a results-focused professional who brings passion and expertise to drive growth and success for organizations. As a hardware engineer at American Robotics, I am responsible for bridging the gap between engineering, operations, and the product/commercial team. Some of my key responsibilities has been designing and building out a Jira bug reporting process to more easily and quickly priorities the triage and fixes of issues at customer sites. Experienced team leader with a successful track record in guiding multidisciplinary teams of engineers towards achieving shared goals and objectives.

Some of my key achievements include building intricate and complex processes for testing and delivering validated systems from post manufacturing through customer deliveries, building KPI and OKR reporting dashboards to provide upper management the ability to track company progress, and working with teams to integrate and test new systems and payloads onto the American Robotics UAS.

With a proven ability to create and implement effective strategies, and exceptional problem-solving skills, along with strong communication and interpersonal abilities, I work effectively with team members and stakeholders at all levels. I am always eager for new challenges and opportunities to expand my skill set and make a meaningful impact in the drone industry.

Some of my hobbies include traveling and photography. I was lucky enough to study abroad in Konstanz, Germany for 7 months where I traveled to 16 different countries (and two continents) and got to photograph and blog about my adventures. I met amazing people from all over the world, made memories that I will never forget, and saw astonishing landscapes. I am eager to get back to exploring the world once it is safe to do so. You can view my blog and some of my favorite photos here.
