Oguz Merdin

I am the Co-founder and CTO of DRONEQUBE, where I lead the technical systems behind autonomous agricultural operations: robotics, controls, sensing, autonomous UAV workflows, AI integration and field reliability. DRONEQUBE is building a closed-loop precision-agriculture platform that connects aerial intelligence, crop analysis, variable-rate prescription, spray execution and post-spray verification. My work focuses on making this system operate reliably in real field conditions, especially in vineyards, orchards and steep-terrain agricultural environments. Before DRONEQUBE, I worked on industrial automation and control systems through MET Advanced Technology Systems, including robotics, PLC, SCADA, image processing, RF/microwave systems, motion control and machine-control software. That background is directly relevant to DRONEQUBE’s core technical challenge: building a dependable autonomous system, not just a drone product. At DRONEQUBE, I architect the company’s hardware and autonomy stack, including drone-in-a-box systems, robotic servicing, sensing workflows and AI integration for vineyard and specialty-crop operations.
