Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Vaughan is a multidisciplinary technologist blending 20+ years of UI/UX and front-end engineering with recent specialization in unmanned aircraft systems. Currently an Unmanned Aerial Systems Technician and FAA Part 107 remote pilot, he applies design-thinking, CAD, and hands-on fabrication to field UAS operations, BVLOS procedures, and data management. Previously he led development teams and built scalable web platforms using modern stacks (Next.js, Node.js, React/Angular) and cloud/serverless architectures, often bridging design and engineering to speed delivery. A Certified Scrum Master with DOJ NACI clearance and experience teaching web technologies, he brings rare cross-domain fluency useful for infrastructure, research, or creative UAS applications. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, Ben’s trajectory reflects a deliberate shift from digital product leadership into aviation where his UX-led systems thinking gives him an edge in practical, user-centered UAS solutions.
