About

I'm an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot with a background in GNSS, RTK positioning, and precision field systems. I support surveyors, engineers, architects, construction firms, and inspection professionals with aerial data collection, site imagery, and photogrammetry flights.

My hardware engineering background includes hands-on work with high-precision GNSS and RTK field systems. That means I understand coordinate systems, ground control workflows, data quality considerations, and field procedures. My background goes deeper than typical aerial photography.

Based near Anacortes, WA. Available as a local subcontractor.

Services

Orthomosaic Imaging

Georeferenced top-down imagery stitched into a seamless orthomosaic. GCP-controlled for repeatability, using RTK GPS equipment, placed markers, or surveyor-established control. Delivered as GeoTIFF for use in CAD or GIS software. Useful aerial reference for site planning, topo context, and licensed survey and engineering workflows.

Digital Surface and Terrain Modeling

DSM and point cloud generation from photogrammetric processing. Delivered as GeoTIFF, LAZ/LAS, or 3D mesh. Provides aerial reference data to support licensed engineers and surveyors with site context, grading reference and existing-conditions assessment.

Aerial Video

4K video flyovers for site walkthroughs, construction progress, and property documentation. Useful for client presentations, stakeholder updates, and marketing. Planned flight paths with organized deliverables.

Roof and Exterior Inspection Imagery
