Johar P.

I am a UAV Systems Engineer, Software Developer, Drone Pilot and Drone Operations Lead with 16+ years of end-to-end experience designing, manufacturing, and deploying advanced unmanned aerial systems for industrial, defense, and energy-sector missions. My career centers on engineering precision platforms and intelligent automation that streamline field operations and unlock high-value data for strategic decision-making. I’ve led full-cycle UAV development — from aerostructure design, fabrication, and avionics integration to software automation, autonomous navigation, and multi-sensor payload engineering (LiDAR, thermal, multispectral, gas detection). My solutions consistently deliver measurable operational uplift, including up to 40% reductions in inspection and survey costs for oil & gas and infrastructure clients. My domain expertise spans pipeline surveillance, flare-stack inspection, GIS mapping, defense R&D, and environmental monitoring with strict alignment to HSE and aviation safety standards. As a GIS and Photogrammetry Specialist, I leverage ArcGIS, QGIS, and Global Mapper to produce precision orthomosaics, NDVI analytics, LiDAR point-cloud models, and 3D terrain intelligence. Currently, I serve as Engineering Manager at Aeroterrascan, driving UAV manufacturing, R&D, and mission-critical platform development for industrial and defense applications. Previously, I led engineering at PT Cakra Vimana Diinamycx and founded PT Pusaka Langit Biru (LaBru), delivering aerial survey and logistics solutions across Indonesia’s operational corridors. My technical skill set includes Fusion 360, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Mission Planner, QGroundControl, Pixhawk, Python automation, and custom drone-software development. I excel at unifying aerospace engineering, robotics, and geospatial intelligence to solve complex operational challenges with scalable, AI-driven solutions. Fueled by innovation, I’m focused on shaping the next generation of autonomous aerial systems and intelligent inspection technologies — advancing safety, efficiency, and data accuracy across mission environments. Driven by curiosity and innovation, I’m passionate about the future of autonomous aerial systems, AI-driven data processing, and robotics integration within industrial inspection and environmental management. My goal is to continue developing sustainable, high-performance UAV technologies that redefine mission efficiency, safety, and accuracy in the field.
