I am the National Drone Manager for a large engineering firm based in the Northern Virginia Area, managing the drone fleet, post processing software as well as the firms pilot base. I have extensive experience operating multiple drone platforms from fixed winged to multi-roto copters. Based in NOVA, we face the additional challenge of flying in and around the Washington DC Flight Restriction Zone, thus, I have experience in obtaining waivers and authorizations to operate in these hard to navigate areas.
