What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to transition my construction estimating, plan-reading, scope verification, and documentation background into UAS construction reality capture, drone mapping, photogrammetry, 3D site modeling, and utility or infrastructure inspection roles.

I've prepared electrical estimates up to $12M for Hatzel & Buehler, Kelly Electrical Services, INTECH Construction, and MJ Kelly Electric, covering pharmaceutical, life science, commercial, industrial, office, and multi-family projects. My work includes takeoffs, conceptual and GMP pricing, value engineering, supplier coordination, and bid development for power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, clean power, low-voltage, security, tele-data, and audiovisual scopes.

I'm construction-technology focused and pursuing FAA Part 107 certification to move into UAS construction reality capture, drone mapping, photogrammetry, 3D modeling, and utility or infrastructure inspection work.
