Founder and CTO
Rocketboots

Robin is the Founder & Chief Technology Officer of RocketBoots, a company providing hybrid SaaS-Edge computer vision products for major banks and retailers in Australia and New Zealand. With a life long interest in aviation and aeronautical engineering Robin is a private pilot and has been dabbling with UAV software and hardware development since 2014, including multiple attempts to qualify for the UAV Outback Challenge competition. Along the way he has created open source Elixir libraries to perform aeronautical calculations, interface with the X-Plane flight simulator, and communicate using the Micro Air Vehicle communication protocol (MAVLink) supported by several leading autopilot projects. His current project is writing an Elixir driver for the engine monitor hardware on his 8.5hp 3.5m wing span drone which is frankly a bit large for his home office.
