Summary
Terry May is a senior software engineer with two decades of cross-disciplinary experience building hardware-integrated applications, mobile software, and mission-critical tools for drone operations and media clients. Based in New Baltimore, Michigan, he has spent the past decade focused on mobile and embedded systems for UAVs, including flight planning, DJI/MAVLink integrations, and real-time telemetry used in turbine inspections. His background spans product prototyping, image processing with OpenCV, and custom drone hardware design—skills honed at Detroit Labs, RIIS, and Zeitview. Terry combines a creative foundation in cinematography and broadcast graphics with deep engineering practice, which informs intuitive visualization and simulation tools. He is comfortable in full lifecycle delivery from electronics and firmware to Android/iOS and web front ends, and often serves as a technical coach and architect. An unusual strength is his ability to translate broadcast-era multimedia workflows into robust, modern embedded and mobile solutions for aerial data capture.
