Three products, one engineering team.
Two drone hardware platforms and one shipping consumer app. The hardware is in prototype quoting; the software is live on iOS and Android.
SkyWrite Prototype
Drone-based aerial skywriting
A drone-mounted smoke-writing platform built around an 800 °C Inconel 600 heater core. Writes custom text, logos, and QR codes in the sky; persists for minutes in calm conditions; captured by a companion camera drone. ESP32-S3 firmware, 12 display modes, multi-layer thermal and pressure interlocks. Targeted at events, advertising, and social activations. Booking site operated at smokemsg.com.

HW-DOCK-01 · US Patent 12,252,279 B1
A system-level architecture for autonomous airborne relay. A secondary drone docks to a host aircraft during transit. On RF-link degradation, the satellite undocks on its own, repositions as an airborne relay node, and re-docks when the link recovers. Patented in the US as system IP; available for licensing and pilot integration. Targeted at defense ISR, BVLOS commercial operations, and public-safety programs.

Direct purchase · $1,799-$2,999
The consumer FPV lane for the same patented Host + Relay technology: a direct-purchase range-extender drone system for FPV pilots, real estate photographers, wedding cinematographers, inspection pilots, civilian SAR teams, and urban visual work.

Consumer mobile app · iOS & Android
A collaborative million-plot photo wall with an in-app marketplace. Users claim plots, post photos, and trade through a creator economy. Native Capacitor build on both platforms, App Store IAP-compliant, hard age-gate (DOB + TOS, under-13 lockout), report-and-block moderation, server-side Apple receipt validation. Currently live on the App Store and Google Play.

The hardware program (SkyWrite + Drone Satellite) is capital-intensive and runs on multi-quarter lead times: CNC, sheet-metal, 3D print, and Inconel machining through PCBWay and Xometry; bench-test cycles; FAA compliance tracks. The software program runs on weekly ship cadence and produces cash flow. Running both under NIRO lets the consumer apps fund the drone-hardware cadence without outside capital dictating timelines, and lets the hardware program benefit from shared firmware, CI, and design-system infrastructure.
