Ralph Hogenbirk is an FPV drone pilot and cinematographer with nine years of experience blending competitive drone racing with creative aerial videography for clients like the Drone Racing League and his own Dutch Drone Gods and ShaggyFPV projects. He pairs a strong technical background in web, IoT, and real-time systems with hands-on skills in JavaScript/Node.js, (Micro)Python and Ruby on Rails, gained at companies like Pycom and Tvilight. Ralph moves fluidly between building fast, low-power IoT prototypes and piloting high-speed cine-racing drones, a combination that informs his practical approach to problem solving and content creation. Based in Amerongen, Netherlands, he ships both code and compelling footage worldwide, turning racing techniques into dynamic cinematic perspectives. An understated strength is his ability to translate low-level embedded constraints into user-facing web APIs and products, enabling rapid prototyping from hardware to cloud.
