The passion behind the vision
Technology is crucial for establishing baselines for the discovered, validating the undiscovered, and providing new perspectives beyond traditional viewports. With years of experience in drones, advanced imaging, LiDAR systems, and artificial intelligence, I aim to use this knowledge for exploration and preservation of both ancient and futuristic elements. I believe that advancing these technologies will shape future generations by improving how we capture, analyze, and deliver data.
I am particularly passionate about creating digital twins and capturing reality authentically, using the power of flight to explore and reveal hidden treasures. This passion extends not only to uncovering the past but also to discovering new insights and preserving our current environment for the future.
