Summary
Samba Diallo is a flight-focused instructor and avionics operator with a decade of tech experience and over 1,000 hours of flight time (900 PIC), currently shaping pilots at AeroDynamic Aviation while serving as Antenna Operator and Scribe at Joby Aviation. He blends developer-relations instincts from roles at PubNub and Android development for the Naval Postgraduate School with hands-on aviation training, bringing a maker’s approach to flight instruction and avionics workflows. Comfortable across Rust, JavaScript, and real-time API-driven systems, Samba leverages his engineering background to modernize training processes and cockpit communications. Notably, he pairs complex/high-performance endorsements with practical multi-engine experience, positioning him to bridge software, telemetry, and pilot competency in emerging eVTOL and advanced aircraft operations. Based in San Francisco, he’s equally passionate about mentoring the next generation of aviators and exploring how realtime developer tooling can improve aviation safety and training.
