Speaker Bio

I am a UAV and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) professional specializing in the integration of autonomous systems, low-altitude airspace operations, and the real-world deployment of drone technologies across public and industrial sectors. I hold a Master’s degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence and bring a strong engineering foundation to the operational, regulatory, and technological challenges of unmanned aviation.

I have extensive experience in drone operations, training, and systems integration, working closely with regulators, city authorities, infrastructure operators, and enterprise stakeholders to move drone programs beyond pilot phases into sustained, scalable operations. My work spans public safety, smart cities, critical infrastructure inspection, automated and dock-based operations, and the practical development of low-altitude economy models across the Middle East and international markets.

I currently serve as Solution Engineering Manager at Aeronex, the exclusive DJI Enterprise Master Distributor for the Middle East and Africa, where I lead the technical integration and deployment of advanced drone solutions for government and industrial clients. In parallel, I act as a Senior Advisor to the Advanced Air Mobility Institute, contributing practitioner perspectives on autonomy, airspace integration, and scalable AAM frameworks. I am also a member of the Sky Alliance for Advanced Air Mobility (SALAAM).

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Air Mobility, with a focus on governance, systems-of-systems integration, and the convergence of unmanned aviation with national infrastructure and future mobility ecosystems.
