With advanced degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Astrophysics, I bring a data-driven, scientific, and solutions-based approach to every drone operation. As an FAA Part 107 certified pilot, I specialize in LiDAR mapping, high-resolution thermal inspections, aerial surveying, precision agriculture, and cinematic production, delivering professional-grade data and visuals across multiple industries.

My primary platform is the DJI Matrice 350 RTK, equipped with the Zenmuse L2 LiDAR system for survey-grade mapping and terrain modeling, and the Zenmuse P1 for high-resolution photogrammetry and 3D reconstruction. The Zenmuse H30T camera enables advanced thermal and visual inspections, ideal for infrastructure analysis, energy systems, and environmental assessments.

Supporting aircraft include the DJI Matrice 4T for thermal imaging and emergency response, the Matrice 4E for detailed mapping and modeling, and the Mavic 3 Multispectral for crop health monitoring, land management, and agricultural analytics. For cinematic and creative work, I utilize the Mavic 4 Pro, capturing ultra high-definition aerial video and photography for sporting events, corporate projects, and music video production.

Combining decades of technical expertise with a passion for innovation, I deliver accurate, high-quality aerial solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs. Whether it’s LiDAR-based digital twins, precision agriculture, infrastructure inspection, or cinematic production, my mission is to provide actionable insights and professional results using the most advanced UAV technology available.

One of the best pilots I have ever worked with. Great communication. Took the photos and videos in less than 24 hours from when I hired him. His photos and reporting is another level.

Did a great job getting photos for a vacant land listing. Very detail oriented and captured a wide variety of quality shots much more than I asked for. They took note of small details such as road traffic, wind turbine noise, and signs of wet soil. I felt like I could trust the pilot as if I were there myself.

Working with That Drone Guy USA was a great experience. Communication was clear and proactive—he flagged LAANC restrictions early, handled the approval quickly, and still managed to complete the mission on time. The mapping and imagery were delivered promptly, with extra effort put into running the dataset through DJI Terra before uploading everything into DroneDeploy. I appreciated the professionalism, quick turnaround, and high-quality deliverables. A dependable pilot team I’d gladly recommend and work with again.

Easy to work with, and the final outcome—both the pictures and video—was awesome! I shared an outline of what I needed, and the pilot was great to communicate with and very accommodating. Thank you for your help!
