About Dan Pham

I am an unbounded engineer with a career as Licensed Civil Engineering P.E. but found way to apply these skills to all facets to develop unparalleled unique expertise in many fields. From hazardous waste remediation to stormwater design to road and bridges with FDOT, I cut my teeth in some of the harshest engineering and political environments like Miami-Dade County. I\'m an expert RC precision pilot on fixed and rotor wing experience. I started flying remote and developing fixed-wing and multirotor drones pre-DJI era using Ardupilot and X-aircraft platforms and have carried it through flight simulation motion axis platform designs. Now I\'m developing robotics applications and coding as well as AR applications. I also am a 3D designer and developed many niche applications for clients including a large Entertainment and theme park dynasty in Orlando FL. Now I\'m challenged with bringing the ability for Advance Air Mobility safely to the masses. Challenge Accepted! I was an early author and grantee of FAA Certificate of Authorization (COA)#- 11814 - granting blanket operations for Engineering data collection, Aerial Imaging, Aerial Mapping and Signal Analysis and concentration measurements. So through over 40 years of photographic and imaging expertise, over 30 years of engineering consulting and analysis and a decade of development/testing/implementing remote piloted vehicles, I have become is a multi-disciplinary expert in constructing, flying and consulting for Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones).
