Summary

I'm an engineer with a diverse background in the fields of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and geodesy. Presently, I hold the position of Operations Engineer at Microavia in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In this role, my responsibilities revolve around ensuring the reliability and efficiency of unmanned aviation systems, as well as conducting test flights with new UAV systems. My interests span across several key areas: Aviation and Unmanned Technology: My extensive background as an engineer and operator of diverse unmanned aerial vehicles, along with hands-on experience conducting test flights, ignites my enthusiasm for advancing aviation technologies and unmanned systems. Geodesy and Aerial Photogeodesy: My work in geodesy and aerial photogeodesy, which involves flying unmanned systems and creating topographic maps and orthophotoplans, has not only deepened my interest in geodesy but also motivated me to enhance unmanned systems designed specifically for geodetic and photogrammetry purposes. Drone Geophysics: Throughout my career, I have specialized in conducting fieldwork at mining sites, using drones to carry out precise geophysical measurements. Leadership and Training: The time spent training personnel and guiding teams of drone system operators at Geoscan strengthened my passion for leadership and encouraged me to keep growing in my career and sharing what I've learned with others in my field.
