Sceye is a startup that is developing lighter-than-air (LTA) High Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) for humanitarian missions and providing broadband access to under-served areas.This was a C-suite role that combined the responsibilities of Chief Engineer and VP of Engineering. I led a team of 25 engineers and technicians in the design and fabrication of Sceye's flight test vehicles. During a six month span, we successfully executed the first two stratospheric test flights in the company's history, including an industry-first demonstration of 3D cellular beam forming from over 60,000 feet.www.sceye.com
