Professional Background
I'm Justin, a Civil CAD Drafter and FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot with 8 years of background building complex design systems and technical documentation. My experience evolved from graphic design into UI/UX architecture, and is now focused on civil drafting and site design. I specialize in bridging field-captured survey and aerial drone data with production-ready Civil 3D models.
Core Focus & Approach
Precision & Standards: CAD layer discipline, clean alignments, and rigorous QA/QC.
Reality Capture: Converting drone photogrammetry and point clouds to Civil 3D.
Product Design
Prior to Civil Design, I spent years in tech as a UX Designer. Explore a recent AI project here.
Education and Certifications
A.S. Engineering Design Technology: Utah Valley University (In Progress)
FAA Part 107 Pilot: Licensed for aerial survey and drone photogrammetry.
