I am always up for a little adventure, and jumped at the chance to create something cool with some kindred spirits. I’m still passionate about the convergence of drone technology, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing and have a blast (most days) working with great people creating unique technology solutions that address real needs in the insurance, roofing, and solar industries. Coming up on 9 years as CTO and co-founder at Loveland Innovations, I readily admit that I had no idea what I was getting into starting a new company… and I wouldn’t trade my experiences here for anything. In the last few years, my focus has shifted more towards policy development, vendor management, security and technology needs, SOC 2, budgets and efficiency gains, and overcoming challenges to ensure our IT strategy remains focused on our business objectives. • Recruiting and leading high-performing software engineering, computer vision, machine learning, DevOps/SREs/IT teams, and individuals • SOC 2 Type II (enterprise pedigree means we punch above our weight as a small company) • Board of Directors (member and observer roles) • Co-inventor on 29 issued patents related to our IMGING product • Part 107 licensed and still love flying drones
