What I'm looking for

I’m looking to transition my airborne ISR and RPAS expertise into strategic security and risk management roles, supporting high-stakes missions with disciplined training, real-time intelligence, and mission-ready safety.

I’m a results-driven Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) professional with over 20 years of experience in military and national security operations within the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force. I specialize in airborne sensor operations and mission coordination, providing real-time intelligence and situational awareness in dynamic, high-risk environments.

I operate advanced EO/IR and maritime radar systems on platforms such as the AW139/C-26, using technologies including FLIR Star, SAFIRE, and ELTA ELM-2022. I also apply RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) to improve mission effectiveness, reduce manpower requirements, and enhance safety—supporting operational planning, field activities, border security, anti-narcotics efforts, and public safety initiatives.

Beyond operations, I’ve trained and developed personnel as an experienced instructor in weapons handling and operational procedures, and I’ve served as a subject matter resource for RPAS capabilities within my unit. Today, I’m pursuing the Certified Protection Professional (CPP) designation and actively bringing my operational discipline into strategic security and risk management through my work in intelligence and security services and aerial operations.
