What a lot of amazing projects!

I'm working on a defense drone.

I built a garage workshop with a Shapeoko 5 Pro, X1C, soldering station, and learned CAD (ok just fusion). I have a lil drone in the air and I'm adding OpenHD for vtx, Rpi for on-edge compute (Jetson would be better but is expensive).

Haven't figured out FHSS or GNSS-denied nav yet (tbh I feel like fhss is gonna be harder). And SITL in a good sim remains to be conquered (ros on osx is a terrible experience). I'm also designing a battery pack that's modular, quick-swap, smart/telemetry.

I've shifted a lot of focus to networking (attending SOFweek in tampa) for the normal fundraising/team-building/customer discovery.

I'm also basically broke due to bootstrapping so I'm about to partner on some b2b ai saas consulting with a friend, today I got Suna up and running, pretty cool.



"I gotta hustle on some B2B AI SaaS gig for a while so I can fund my bootstrapped combat drone work" is an extremely 2025 sentence.


This made me actually lol, you are so right


One of the things I'm working on is also this, most of the problems in the space have been solved already, the only interesting part is how elegant can your implementation be. Good luck!


Yeah finding a niche for your drone is tricky! hence SOFweek to find context, "context is that which is scarce" as they say


What is Suna?


It's a FOSS project for an AI agent that can work in the browser. Just lets you give it a couple more tools than OpenAI/Claude can - I'm gonna use 1Password's SDK so it can use my passwords safely
