IT Architect, Radio Amateur, and Drone Operator





Meowth is a seasoned IT architect with a deep‑rooted passion for
wireless communications and unmanned aerial systems. Over the past
decade, he has blended his expertise in enterprise‑grade network design
with hands‑on experience in amateur radio and drone technology, creating
a unique professional profile that bridges cutting‑edge digital
infrastructure and real‑world RF engineering.








Professional Background





  • Current Role: Senior IT Architecture Lead,
    responsible for designing scalable, secure, and highly available
    cloud‑native solutions for multinational clients.
  • Core Competencies: Multi‑cloud orchestration (AWS,
    Azure, GCP), micro‑services architecture, zero‑trust networking,
    software‑defined networking (SDN), and automated infrastructure as code
    (IaC) pipelines using Terraform, Ansible, and Pulumi.
  • Technical Highlights:
    • Designed a hybrid‑cloud backbone delivering sub‑10 ms latency
      across five continents, leveraging SD‑WAN edge devices and BGP route
      optimization.
    • Implemented end‑to‑end encryption (TLS 1.3, IPsec) and quantum‑resistant key exchange mechanisms for mission‑critical workloads.
    • Championed container security standards (OPA, Falco) and integrated continuous compliance checks into CI/CD pipelines.




Amateur Radio (Ham) Profile

Call Sign EA5KAO
License Class Amateur Extra (Class E) – full privileges on all HF, VHF, and UHF bands.
Operating Experience 15 + years of on‑air activity across HF (80 m–10 m), VHF/UHF (2 m, 70 cm), and microwave (23 cm, 13 cm).
Equipment • Icom IC‑7300 (HF/50 MHz SDR) – 100 W output, built‑in DSP
filtering. • Yaesu FT‑991A (VHF/UHF/70 cm) – dual‑band transceiver with
integrated GPS for APRS. • Elecraft KX3 (portable HF) – lightweight,
battery‑operated field rig. • Custom‑built 2 m/70 cm cross‑band repeater
(30 W) powered by solar panels, supporting D‑Star and Fusion digital
modes.
Digital Modes Expertise FT2/FT8/FT4, PSK31, RTTY, JT65, D‑Star, System Fusion, and LoRa‑based packet radio for telemetry.
Special Projects • Developed an automated antenna tuner using Arduino Nano, MOSFET
switching, and a PID controller to optimize SWR across 3.5–30 MHz. •
Integrated an Open‑Source SDR (GNU Radio) pipeline for real‑time
spectrum analysis and remote monitoring via a secure VPN tunnel. •
Contributed to the ARRL’s “Emergency Communications” task force,
deploying portable HF stations during natural disaster drills.
Community Involvement Active member of the local VHF/UHF club, mentor for new
licensees, and regular presenter at regional ham radio conventions on
“Software‑Defined Radio in Field Deployments.”




Drone Operations



  • Certification: FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate (U.S.) – authorized for commercial UAV operations.
  • Platform Expertise: DJI Matrice 300 RTK, Autel Evo II Pro, and custom-built hexacopter frames equipped with Pixhawk flight controllers.
  • Payloads & Sensors: High‑resolution RGB
    cameras (Sony α7R IV), multispectral imaging (MicaSense RedEdge), LiDAR
    modules (Velodyne Puck), and thermal cameras (FLIR Boson).
  • Mission Profiles:
    • Aerial Surveying: Conducting GIS‑grade
      photogrammetry for infrastructure mapping, achieving 2 cm ground sample
      distance (GSD) in urban environments.
    • RF Site Inspection: Using onboard spectrum
      analyzers (HackRF One) to perform line‑of‑sight assessments for antenna
      placement and interference mitigation.
    • Search & Rescue (SAR): Deploying autonomous
      waypoint missions with real‑time video streaming over encrypted LTE
      links, integrating with incident command systems.

  • Automation & Integration: Developed
    Python‑based mission planning scripts that interface with Mission
    Planner and Ground Station APIs, enabling batch processing of waypoints
    and automated post‑flight data ingestion into cloud storage for
    machine‑learning analysis.

 

Personal Philosophy




“Whether I’m drafting a micro‑service mesh or tuning a 20‑meter
dipole, the goal is the same: to create reliable, reproducible systems
that empower people to connect securely and efficiently.”
