I’m a #technologist with a lot of opinions, not an influencer - please don’t get it mixed up …. UAS Nexus does #technical #advising and #consulting - I try to keep my post limited to the areas I am interested in like #drones and #robotics. Sometimes, I share deeply opinionated thoughts on the industry - #sorrynotsorry if you’re offended.

Here is one of my latest projects. Removing human error from the excavation/grading industry with an app that I designed. This will save time, money and reduce the error rates experienced in this trade. Here is a short video explaining the process. https://lnkd.in/g4j-yxYa

What if every grant gave you an AI tool to help you apply for the grant? I built just that for North Dakota Department of Commerce's Automate ND grant. Try it out in the comments below. I walked through the AI grant tool - along wtih grant details and recommendations - in our workshop. Just comment "AI" if you want me to send you a recording.

During COVID we bought a little app called Ignite and turned it into PushPress Train. At the time I didn't realize how hard an acquisition would be (even though everyone warned me). For 2 years, we didn't have the resources to give it the love it needed - and the market pounded us for it. Our customers hated it. The integration was terrible at best. It affected everything in our business negatively - our churn rates, our NPS, our customer happiness. After raising our Series A we had the resources to fix this and we did. We upgraded Train in all ways and folded it directly into our Member App. We added programming partners to it, so our clients now get hassle free workouts loaded directly into their gyms. We improved the integration into Core. Now we're doubling down. For the first time ever we have a dedicated engineer who's only job is to make Train amazing in deeper ways. As a CEO, sometimes your decisions might be wrong in the moment but they aren't final answers. Acquiring Train was a bad decision for 2 years... until it wasn't - and now it's a vital piece of our product ecosystem!

You've built a foundation of software in your business. But business is never stable. Time for the next leap! When your current software doesn't handle the next step, it's time to improve the software! I love bringing older software in line with what a business needs it to do. Cheaper, Faster, Safer than replacing it. #softwaremaintenance #legacysoftware #fractionalcfo

From Marina Dreams to Sky-High Ambitions: Every great business has a story, and ours began over lunch at a marina. What started as a casual conversation between partners turned into a shared vision to revolutionize the way industries capture and use aerial data. At SKYHAUL Aerial Data Acquisition Group, we didn’t set out to be just another drone company. We wanted to make a difference—combining cutting-edge technology with hands-on expertise to help businesses and property owners solve real-world challenges. 🚀 From day one, our mission was clear: provide safer, faster, and more precise data solutions. Whether it’s mapping out complex terrain, inspecting hard-to-reach building facades, or helping property owners prepare for the unexpected, we’ve embraced every opportunity to innovate. ✨ Fun Fact: One of the biggest challenges we faced early on wasn’t in the air but on the ground—deciding on a name! After weeks of brainstorming, “SKYHAUL” was born, capturing the essence of what we do: delivering value from above. 💡 What makes SKYHAUL unique? It’s not just our equipment or expertise—it’s the people behind the drones. From our pilots to our data analysts, we’re a team driven by passion, precision, and a love for the skies. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but this is just the beginning. Every project, every partnership, and every flight brings us closer to our goal of being a trusted leader in aerial data acquisition. 🎯 Join us on this journey! Follow our page, explore our services, and let’s take your projects to new heights—literally. #SkyhaulADA #BusinessStory #AerialData #DroneServices #FromVisionToReality #InnovationAboveAll #facadeinspections #lidar

I've been working on this project for a while, but I'm finally ready to show off my progress. This is AlertGX, a web app for creating weather alert graphics. It's made with Angular and works completely in the browser. It pulls the alert data directly from the National Weather Service and you can search for alerts by location too. You can check it out at: https://lnkd.in/gnZ4gFdj #angular #weather #coding #software #webapp #javascript

In the drone software and services markets, if you prioritize the technology over the business model, you will fail. It’s that simple. Spend 3% of your time finding the technology that works, and the other 97% on obtaining revenue. Cool shit is ubiquitous in this industry, but it is volatile and the churn is high because good business models are scarce.

I spend more time sharing my thoughts than sharing our business: UAS Nexus. We work with the majority of Western #OEMs. Let me explain what we do: - strategic business #development (probably better than anyone else in the industry) We find you customers and industry partners. - #product management (also likely better than anyone else in the industry) We help you find #productmarketfit and refine your #roadmap so your product sells. - market #research and #competitiveintelligence We help inform what’s out there, how they stack up, and what new #technology is coming. - engineering management - custom integrations (#hardware and #software) like nobody else… - systems engineering architecture and optimization We work with various industry partners for funding and #regulatory elements (like the brilliant folks at Murzilli Consulting). But objectively - we work with the top 1% of engineers and SMEs (globally) to help the mobile robotics industry scale into what we believe is the most disruptive technology of the last several decades. Cheat code: our team and partners have worked on and/or built the key technologies many of you use today 🤫.

Prediction: More lodge and ranch owners will embrace new software in 2025. They'll start to view streamlined operations as superior to paper and spreadsheets. - More control over daily operations - Improved focus on guest experience - Zero scheduling hassles - Higher profit potential - The chance to grow steadily. With products and services from Romeo Bravo Software: - Reservations run themselves - Staffing and operations visibility is dramatically improved - Guest communications and payments are enhanced and more professional - Financial reporting is timely and informative. Remember: It might read 'work-life’ balance. But for smart lodge and ranch operators, it's the other way around. Life first. Work second. And reclaiming your time and mental bandwidth is the first step in doing that. *** If you're ready - Let's chat about how we can improve your operations. DM me 'grow' and let’s talk.

When Tilt first began offering contract web development services earlier this year, I believed it was crucial to have a strong process in place—a framework to guide each project from start to finish While we did establish a process I’m proud of, I quickly learned that sometimes there's a better way to deliver value than to follow even the most well-crafted process: --- During a recent project, I noticed that while the project leads appreciated our early strategic deliverables that kick off our process, they clearly weren't getting the value from them that we would typically expect The real turning point came not during a planned presentation, but when we received an urgent request - could we expedite our delivery timeline by about 30% to have the project ready for a big meeting with a prospective partner? This meant throwing out our usual approach, but we pivoted and delivered the project on the new timeline. --- While consulting is most often about delivering a process that adds value for the client to reach a specific outcome, this experience reminded me of two key lessons for successfully delivering this type of services: 1. Start from a place of having a great process that delivers value in the form of strategic insights; and 2. Be ready to throw it away in a heartbeat if you identify a better opportunity to deliver value. #martech #webdevelopment #marketingtechnology #Tilt #digitaltransformation
