These experiences have honed my leadership, communication, and precision.I currently hold multiple roles in the UAV sector. As an instructor, training students for RePL licenses and specializing in larger drones, including powered-lift and fixed-wing aircraft in operational scenarios. My expertise in navigating the regulatory landscape for BVLOS approvals and operations helps ensure that projects meet compliance and safety standards.In parallel, I co-founded a company that offers custom-built drone solutions and consultancy.
